Strawberries and Cream
Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- To every pint of picked strawberries
- 1/3 pint cream
- 2 oz finely-pounded sugar
Instructions
- Pick the stalks from the fruit, place it on a glass dish, sprinkle over it pounded sugar, and slightly stir the strawberries, that they may all be equally sweetened;
- pour the cream over the top, and serve.
- Devonshire cream, when it can be obtained, is exceedingly delicious for this dish; and, if very thick indeed, may be diluted with a little thin cream or milk.
