"We're not really good sharers," says the three-year-old, earnestly protecting his bowl of vanilla soy yogurt topped with straberries, "that's why we have our own."
I put a dollop of yogurt on top of the last few juicy berries in the blue mixing bowl, and I totally understand the boy's concern. It's hard, but I hand Paul a bite.
Tangerine Macerated Strawberries
makes: 4 dainty servings or enough for my two children, with a tiny taste left for Paul and me
takes: less than a minute, plus 10 for sitting
- 1 pint strawberries, sliced
- 1 heaping tablespoon raw sugar
- juice of half a big tangerine or a fat wedge of orange
Sprinkle the sliced strawberries with sugar and citrus juice and stir it up. Let sit for about 10 minutes for the strawberries to soften and release their juices and the sugar to disolve. Serve over vanilla yogurt or ice cream.
