Do you put sugar in cream ?

[Olbasoil]

Because I never have. An almighty row broke out yesterday due to my inability to serve strawberries and cream correctly !!

No not usually, and most definitely not on strawberries and cream!

No, why would you need to? Strawberries are sweet enough.

No- there are enough calories in cream on it's own.

No, surely if you like it sweetened (bleurgh) you could just buy that abomination-in-a-can stuff?

tiny bit of sugar in whipping cream to get perfect texture to whipped cream.

Personally I wouldn't strawberries are sweet enough

Strawberries and cream here is usually sliced or quartered into a bowl with a shake of caster sugar over them

leave to stand somewhere cool, but not the fridge for the afternoon

spoon into a bowl and drown spoon over some cream

Or sometimes it's just whole strawberries, a plate of sugar and a bowl of cream...bite, dip, dip, scoff. Best for family only, due to double dipping issues! :D

tbh I would say all but the ripest most perfect high summer strawbs need a little help for sweetness.

Thank for that, I know its personal taste and all that but I would never add sugar. Mind you she also adds 10 tonnes of salt to her food so what does she know!

If I'm making chantilly then yes, otherwise no (but it is the nicest cream)

No, although when I cut the strawberries I sprinkle caster sugar on them.

I don't, but my Italian relatives always do and think its wrong not to.
