Raspberry... Boysenberry... STRAWBERRY
Web site note, I turned the comments back on. I don't care if the comments are getting hit by spam anymore, I'll just keep deleting it until it becomes to much. It's happening on older posts anyways so I had a change of heart.
As mentioned in the previous post, we had a chance to get out of the house and head over to Garden Grove's strawberry festival on Saturday. We did leave unfulfilled in the strawberry category and on Sunday while we were grocery shopping, we decided to pick up a three pint box of the dang things. Jenn wanted to make something special with them and could not find a recipe so she came up with this recipe:
Woody's Strawberry Mint Delight
(Serving for 2)
1 Frozen Pound cake
1 Pint of Strawberry's
2 Tablespoons of sugar
Hershey's Chocolate Syrup
Fresh Mint
Cool Whip
- Hull the strawberry's, cut in half the long way and then cut in half the long way again. Quarter the strawberry's into even pieces and place into a mixing bowl.
- Take the leaves of the mint and chop up very fine, almost minced to let the oils come out and put in the mixing bowl with the strawberry's.
- Sprinkle the strawberry mixture with 1 Tablespoon of sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the second Tablespoon of sugar and repeat. (You can be the judge if it needs more sugar or not, usually one more Tablespoon will do).
- Let the strawberry's rest for about 10 minutes stirring around occasionally. You do not need to mash them, the strawberries will naturally release the juices and the sugar will meld with it making a nice gooey syrup.
- When the strawberry's are done, cut the frozen pound cake into 1/2-inch slices and toast them on medium.
- Place toasted pound cake slices each in a single serving dessert dishes. Spoon the strawberry mixture into each serving dessert dish. Drizzle with Hershey's Chocolate Syrup (use as much as wanted but beware over chocolating). Top with Cool Whip and serve
Man was this good. The first night Jenn made it I thought there was to much mint. A little mint can go a long way. Jenn thought that was the best part so that one just goes to personal taste. Even though I thought there was to much mint, it was still pretty damn good. All 4 of the flavors really go well together and the make one heck of a dessert. Good stuff!
