Edible parts

Ripe fruits

Recipe idea for your ‘Toscana’ F1 strawberry harvest. Prepare a berry compote to serve with yogurt or crêpes. Remove the stems and, for ground cherries, the papery husks. Rinse the fruit, then place it in a small saucepan with just enough water to prevent sticking at the start. Heat gently and stir until the fruit begins to break down. Mash some of it with a spoon to leave a few pieces in the mixture. Taste before adding sugar, as the balance depends on the harvest. Let cool slightly, then serve a small portion over your chosen dessert or breakfast. For a thicker texture, continue cooking uncovered, stirring. Add a little lemon zest if you want to enhance the flavor without overpowering the fruit. Prepare a modest amount and store the cooled compote in a closed container in the refrigerator.
