Le Fragole di Mamma

Ingredients:
approx. 100 g strawberries 
1 tbsp sugar (or to taste)
1 tbsp brandy (or anther sweet liquor to taste) 
1 can whipped cream

Strawberries, Fragole

Fragole in Sicily are in season from early spring to early summer, which means we shall be saying goodbye to them soon (though we do have melon season coming up to ease the pain.)

When I was growing up, strawberries were best eaten right of the bush. Maybe a quick rinse under the tap, but otherwise unchanged. I still enjoy them that way, but here in Sicily it is much more common to dress them up a bit.
