Recipe and storage
Recipe idea
From garden to table
Recipe idea for your 'Toscana' F1 strawberry harvest. Prepare a berry compote to accompany yogurt or pancakes. Remove the stems and, for the ground cherries, the dry 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. Crush a portion with a spoon to keep some chunks in the mixture. Taste before adding sugar, as the balance depends on the harvest. Let it cool slightly, then serve a small portion over your chosen dessert or breakfast. For a thicker texture, continue cooking uncovered while stirring. Add a little lemon zest if you wish to brighten the flavor without masking the fruit. Prepare a modest amount and store the cooled compote in the refrigerator in a closed container.
