Vanilla Bourbon Strawberries

June 20, 2013

I learned early, as a child, that if you dip a strawberry into a little sugar it tastes mad, crazy-good - and it makes a lovely syrup. At the time I had no idea what the term 'maseration' meant...I thought I was a Little Miss Wizard of strawberries!! Fast forward 30+ years: I'm still mixing strawberries and sugar, except now it's vanilla sugar, and now I am adding bourbon to the equation. Vanilla Sugar + Bourbon + Fresh Strawberries = THIS INSANE BOWL OF SPIKED BERRIES!!

6 cups fresh strawberries
3 Tbs vanilla sugar
2 Tbs bourbon

Wash, dry, and hull the berries. Slice into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Add sliced berries into a large bowl, sprinkle with vanilla sugar and bourbon. Toss well to combine. Cover and refrigerate...
