How to Make Fraises Marinees Aux Calvados Strawberries In Calvados

  1. Gently wash 1 pint of fresh strawberries. If using large strawberries, halve or quarter them. If using small strawberries, leave whole.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries with 1/4 cup Calvados. Gently toss to coat.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably 2-3 hours, to allow the strawberries to fully marinate.
  4. After marinating, add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to the strawberries and gently stir. Set aside.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  6. Divide the whipped cream among four chilled dessert plates, creating a slight indentation in the center of each.
  7. Lightly sprinkle the edges of the plates with ground cinnamon.
  8. Spoon the marinated strawberries into the center of each cream mound.
  9. Drizzle any accumulated Calvados-sugar juice over the strawberries.
  10. Serve immediately with sables (optional).
