Old family treat, my mom made this for us for dessert, paired with vanilla ice cream, DEE-LISH!
The trouble here is, I have no measurements for you!
Here is what you need:
- 2 baskets of fresh strawberries* ( you can use frozen also, but the end result will be softer strawberries )
- 1/4 - 1/2C Granulated Sugar* ( amount depends on how many strawberries you have )
1) Slice strawberries into a bowl.
2) Pour in sugar and stir/toss around strawberries until they are coated, cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator. Allow to sit for about an hour or longer. Stir the berries after they have been chilling for a while.
3) Sugar should be completely dissolved. Stir the strawberries and syrup together, and taste. If it doesn't taste sweet, add a bit more sugar and let chill for about 20 minutes longer, stir and serve over your favorite dessert. ( Either pound cake or vanilla ice cream are a perfect match! )

"Vanilla Ice Cream with Strawberries ♥ Thank you again, Dawn! We all LOVED this. You guys should try this, it was so great! I used frozen strawberries (I'm sure fresh would be better, but I only had these) I defrosted them and then chopped them up and put them in a bowl. I sprinkled a little sugar on top and gave them a stir and then let them sit in the fridge while I made dinner. When it was time for dessert, I took the strawberries out and gave them another lil stir and then spooned them on top of our lil cups of ice cream and yummy!!!"
