For those of you who missed it this week, check out my latest Eugene Weekly Chow! article on Oregon strawberries. I’m still in Prague, but my husband instant-messaged me from Eugene the other day telling me that he had to make a strawberry fruit salad for a party. So he went out and bought a flat of strawberries. Now, any canning enthuiast knows that a flat makes a double batch of jam, or a big bag full of frozen berries, or a good few cups of dried ones. But he doesn’t know how to do any of these things, so I encouraged him to clean and hull the berries, slice them in half, pour a bit of sugar on them, and let them sit for a couple of hours in the refrigerator. Just before serving, toss in a bit of Grand Marnier and chopped mint. Serve with whipped cream.
And MORE rain? What’s up with that?
Don’t even get me going on the rain. Just don’t!
I love your strawberry recommendation: yum.
