Zesty strawberries with Cointreau recipe

Ingredients

  • 500g strawberry, hulled halved or quartered, depending on size
  • 3 tbsp Cointreau
  • zest 1 orange
  • 4 tbsp icing sugar
  • mint leaves, roughly torn, to serve

Method

  • Tip the strawberries into a large bowl. Splash over the Cointreau, add the orange zest and sift in the icing sugar, then give everything a really good mix. Cover, then leave for 1 hr or more for the juices to become syrupy and the strawberries to soak up some of the alcohol.

  • To serve, scatter the mint leaves over the strawberries and give them one more good stir, then spoon into individual glass dishes.
