Strawberry Time is Tutti Fruiti Time

The first strawberries are in the kitchen at Linderhof

Time to get out a jar and start the Tutti Fruiti!

This year I'm using one of my English "Sweetie Jars"

Into this jar goes . . .

A pint of "good" brandy

(you notice recipes never say "cheap" or "average" --

it's always "good"!!!

Then . . .

We add two cups of halved strawberries

Part of the flat I brought home yesterday.

Local strawberries make the best Tutti Fruiti!

Then . . .

We add two cups of sugar

And stir

And it sits on the kitchen counter so we can stir it every day

with a wooden spoon

Until the sugar is all dissolved

As fruit comes in season, we'll add equal amounts of fruit and sugar 

peaches, cherries, apricots, blackberries and pneapple!

Watch the jar fill with the wonderful boozy fruity sauce!
