Directions:

  1. Bring 13/4 cups water and the sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Stop stirring, increase the heat to high, and boil for 2 minutes.
  2. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon zest and juice and let cool completely.
  3. Hull the strawberries and cut large ones in half. Combine the berries in a bowl and add the syrup. Stir gently to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Spoon into bowls and serve.
Tips:
  • Prepare ahead: Chill the fruit and syrup for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Good with a large dollop of whipped cream.

Variations

Winter Salad: Use sliced apples and segmented oranges, instead of berries. For an exotic version, try papaya and mango, and use lime in the syrup.
