This is a taste and try recipe, strawberries can vary so much from source to source. My strawberries are still green and I'm looking forward to them ripening up - the ones I used were English
A punnet of strawberries
6 large mint leaves (julienned and chopped very fine)
3 tbs sugar
a couple of twists of freshly ground black pepperl
Clotted cream or creme fraiche to serve
Mash a third of the strawberries with 1 tbs sugar then add the rest of the strawberried - chopped or quartered dependant on size
Add the mint, remaining sugar and the pepper
Gently mix together and taste (may need more sugar), you could use a small splash of balsamic vinegar.
cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour
Serve dressed up in glasses with whatever you fancy - I used creme fraiche and broken up meringue. Gooood!
