FRESH BERRIES WITH ORANGE CREAM

This recipe is from her Polish Great Grandmother on her

paternal side of her family. It is so nice that she could

have hand me down recipes in the family.

1 pint strawberries

1 tablespoon sugar

½ cup sugar

2 teaspoons grated orange rind

½ cup orange juice

1 cup heavy cream

Wash berries; combine them with 1 tablespoon sugar

in a small bowl.

Combine the ½ cup sugar, orange rind, and orange juice in

A small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring only until

The sugar dissolves. Simmer 10 minutes without stirring.

Cool completely.

Whip cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in orange

Syrup. Serve over berries.

Sheila used raspberries, and you can use lemon juice and

rind in the same quantities. Also you could use blueberries

or blackberries…

Sheila used 7 or 8 cups of berries for 10 ladies.

So you could make this recipe 3 times to be just about right.
