mum's fresh strawberry topping
It was something I looked forward to every summer when we picked fresh strawberries :) This little treat went on a dish of ice-cream when I was a kid and the tradition continues. I thought I'd discovered Nirvana when I discovered cheesecake as an adult. With this topping, I was in heaven lol. Mind you the cherry pie filling makes a nice topping too ;) just too thick for my tastes.

How To Make mum's fresh strawberry topping
-
Step 1Use fairly firm ripe strawberries if you can. I use them all, except really soft ones. Wash and hull and cut away any blemishes. -
Step 2Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters or freestyle depending on the size of the strawberry. Put them into a bowl or food container.
-
Step 3Sprinkle 1 or 2 heaping tsp of sugar over berries and lightly mix. You want to see a little sugar on every berry. Adjust sugar to amount of strawberries. Cover with saran or a lid and put in the fridge for at least a few hours so the strawberry can absorb the sugar and produce a sauce. Stir once or twice. Overnight is best :)

Step 4This I've used as a topping on vanilla ice-cream since I was a child,
-
Step 5but as an adult, I discovered it was amazing on cheesecake too :) Cover unused portions and put back in the fridge. This will keep for only a couple of days.
