Poll question: Best way to serve fresh strawberries...

I know it is still a few months away, but we have to look ahead. How do you like fresh strawberries the best?

3. Strawberries Romanoff.....

De-stem, wash, and dry a pint of berries and put them in a tupperware-type bowl with a lid. Add about 1/3 cup of sugar, approximately 1 tbsp of orange zest, and enough Grand Marnier/Cointreau (or triple-sec in a pinch) to soak the berries. Cover and marinate them, stirring occaisionally, for several hours. Serve with fresh whipped cream.

9. I have to second that

At most, a teaspoon of sugar to help the juices flow, but they don't need anything.

And it's serious strawberry season right now in FL so I get to buy them in bulk and go apeshit. My only caveat is that someone else does the picking. A big light bulb went on as to why so many people are allergic to strawberries the last time I hit a U-pick place and spent an hour up to my elbows in them: Strawberries are related to poison ivy (just look at the three leaves, man)! Most miserable night of my life with my arms on fire. Thank goddess I can still eat them. :9

22. Martha Stewart once had a recipe for those mamoth California Strawberries where

you hollowed them out and then filled them with chocolate moose. Too much work for me. But they looked good.

23. I like them plain, ...

... or in a crepe, or in a pie with rhubarb, or in jam, or on cheesecake, or dipped in chocolate, ... I guess I just plain like them.
