Too late now, but black pepper brings out the 'strawberryness' of them

Thanks everyone! Eton mess would be perfect but I think I will struggle to find whipping cream and meringues in local supermarket (live abroad). Off to have a look - if not it will be the balsamic vinegar option. Thanks again!

another vote for eton mess

yummmmmm

In winter I make ice-cream with frozen strawberries I have saved from summer. Semi-thaw them then wizz with cream/yogurt and sugar and a squirt of lemon.

kids love it.

I have just made home made ice cream with ours

150ml double cream
175ml milk
2 large tablespoons of sugar
lemon juice
egg yolk

Mash it all up together and put in the freezer. Stir it every hour if you can remember.

50g golden caster sugar
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
250g strawberries , hulled and halved

In a small saucepan, mix the caster sugar and balsamic vinegar with 2 tbsp water and cook over a medium heat, stirring continuously, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has reduced by half to a sticky syrup (about 5 mins). Cool before pouring over the strawberries and allow to soak for at least 1 hr.

Serve with Ice cream or whipped cream-dead easy to do,fantastic flavour and an be done in advance.

Eton mess. Of course.

also could put in a paper bag with a banana? I know that being with a banana ripens other fruit, not sure quite how quickly though?

maybe some kind of mousse with lots of sugar

Oh yes, I was going to suggest Eton Mess too, we had it at the weekend and it was lovely.

We added some raspberries from our garden too.
