How to Make Orange Drizzled Strawberries
- Rinse 1 pound of fresh strawberries and remove the green hulls.
- Cut strawberries in half or quarters, depending on size.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the strawberries with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon Cointreau or other orange liqueur.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and the zest of 1 orange (or 1 lemon).
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer, stirring frequently, until the syrup thickens, reduces to 1/2 cup, and becomes syrupy (about 20-25 minutes).
- Prepare an ice bath by placing a small bowl inside a larger bowl filled with ice and cold water.
- Strain the warm orange syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into the small bowl set in the ice bath. Stir until completely chilled.
- Spoon the chilled strawberries into dessert dishes or bowls.
- Drizzle generously with the chilled orange syrup.
- Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (optional, omit for nut allergies) and serve immediately.
