How to Make Strawberries With Cointreau
- Zest one orange, avoiding the white pith, and thinly slice the zest into fine strips.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Add the orange zest to the boiling syrup.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely.
- Stir in 1/4 cup Cointreau liqueur into the cooled syrup.
- Gently place 1 pound of fresh strawberries in a medium-sized bowl.
- Pour the cooled orange syrup and zest over the strawberries.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, to allow the strawberries to macerate.
- Whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until soft peaks form. (Alternatively, use 1 cup of store-bought whipped cream).
- Serve the macerated strawberries topped with whipped cream. Garnish each serving with a whole strawberry for an elegant touch.
