Strawberries in Bourbon, with Walnut pieces and Single Cream

A fruit salad, with halved strawberries and Kentucky Bourbon whiskey, plus some white wine (Soave). Allowed to marinate for a few days in the fridge.  Served with walnut pieces and single cream. 

 

Strawberry and Blackberry Bourbon Surprise

Wow! Diced Scottish Strawberries and Blackberries soused for a couple of days in two shots of blended Bourbon whiskey, and two dessert spoonfuls of Demerara sugar. Kept in the fridge. Plus a handful of crushed almonds (I've made this dish before with almonds which were ground in a coffee grinder). Stirred occasionally.

Dress in a little black or white pepper before serving on a bed of Greek style yoghurt.

Any other whisky or whiskey will produce an excellent result. Utterly delicious! Strawberries Rombauer is often touted as the the apex of fruit salads (using Cointreau). It's good, but this has it beat.
