June's Top Tips

Summer Berry Sprinkle

Strawberries are at their very best at this time of the year with sales of the fruit more that quadrupling during the months of May & June. Whether you pick your own or take advantage of the supermarket offers the sweet and juicy fruits need a little in the way of help with flavour and are great served simply with a sprinkle of sugar and a dollop of cream. If however, like us at the Spicery, you're keen to try something spicier, this month's free sample is a Summer Berry Sprinkle that can be used in several different ways with strawberries. Pepper may seem like an odd addition to flavour something sweet but the mild heat surprisingly brings out the intensely fruity, sweet flavour of the strawberries.

You need:

• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 punnet quartered strawberries
• Cream, Greek yogurt or creme fraiche to serve.

Method:

• Mix the sachet (or 1tsp) of Summer Berry Sprinkle with 2 tbsp sugar then sprinkle over a punnet of quartered strawberries.
• Leave to stand for an hour then serve with the cream, Greek yogurt or creme fraiche.
