Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom optional
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the halved strawberries, sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
  2. Gently toss until the strawberries are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
  3. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the strawberries to release their juices.
  4. Serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally garnished with fresh mint or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

For a warm variation, gently heat the spiced strawberries in a saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
