Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 75 grams granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters orange juice
- 15 milliliters lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 45 milliliters strawberry or orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau or Grand Marnier)
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops, then slice the strawberries in halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, and orange zest. Stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.
Add the liqueur to the juice mixture and stir until well combined.
Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the liquid mixture, ensuring all the fruit is coated evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For deeper flavor, marinate the strawberries for up to 2 hours.
Just before serving, gently stir the strawberries one more time.
Serve the soused strawberries as a standalone dessert, spooned over ice cream, or paired with whipped cream. Optionally, garnish each portion with fresh mint leaves.
