Normally, I just rinse, drain, de-stem and cut up my Berries, sprinkle them with Sugar, add a dash of salt that brings the flavor out, then taste them and add more sugar if needed…and let them set for a couple of hours. Then I make homemade Biscuits. When they are done and still Hot, I split a one open and lay them, Open faced, butter both sides, and then spoon a couple spoonfuls of the macerated Berries with the juice over the Biscuits. Serve with Homemade Whipped Cream.
It is always Best to start with Good Berries but not all of us are Blessed with the sweet luscious Pacific Nortwest Strawberry’s that are that beautiful red all the way through. This recipe is good for all year around.
I love homemade Biscuits and fresh Whipped Cream. Not always available… use the spray canned “Real Whipped Cream.”

Biscuits
Take your Horrid, hard, dry, tasteless , white inside Strawberries…slice them up to make about 1 1/2- 2 cups of Berries in a Bowl. Add a couple of rounded Tablespoons of Good organic Strawberry Jam, and a few shakes of Salt, (Don’t skip this! The Salt wilts the Berries and draws the juice from them to macerate in their juices) stir it up, and let the Berry’s set out covered for about 3 hours.
Either Make fresh or use Leftover ones.
Break 2 Leftover Biscuits in half and heat them up in the toaster oven, (Breville) Heat the Buscuits at 350° for about 10 min.
Butter both half’s and Spoon the Berry’s with Juice over the two Half’s, and top with Whip Cream. Repeat for 2.. buuuuuaahhhhaahhha! ?
