1. Prepare Strawberries
Wash and hull 1.5 pints of sweet ripe strawberries. Once cleaned, cut the strawberries in half, or into quarters if they are particularly large.
2. Mix Orange Juice and Sugar
In a mixing bowl, stir together 1.5 cups of freshly squeezed orange juice and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Adjust the sugar to your taste, ensuring the mixture is pleasantly sweet but not overpowering.
3. Soak Strawberries
Pour the orange juice mixture over the cut strawberries, making sure all the berries are well-coated. Let this mixture sit and soak for at least 30 minutes.
4. Serve
Serve the soaked berries in individual bowls, ready for your guests to enjoy.
Choose ripe, red, and fragrant strawberries. Look for berries that are bright red from top to bottom and avoid those with white tops or signs of mold.
Adjust the amount of sweetener and citrus juice based on the natural sweetness of the strawberries and desired tartness.
Use fresh, preferably organic citrus fruits for zesting and juicing to get vibrant flavors without pesticide residues.
Allow strawberries to marinate in the citrus mixture for 15 minutes to an hour to meld flavors without the strawberries becoming mushy.
Use a Microplane grater to zest only the colored part of the peel, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath.
