Sweet Southern Sugared Strawberries (Strawberry Topping)

Recipe #59564 | 1 min | 1 min prep | add private note

By: Jenn from New Orleans S
Apr 14, 2003

This is a family favorite handed down for generations. It is very basic and can be used in Strawberry shortcake, ice cream topping, cheesecake topping, pancake or waffle topping, etc. Be creative with it!

SERVES 2 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    You will need a tupperware type container with a lid.
  2. 2
    First, slice as many strawberries as you would like and place them in the container.
  3. 3
    Then add as much sugar as you wish.
  4. 4
    The more sugar makes more syrup.
  5. 5
    I usually add enough to fully coat the strawberries.
  6. 6
    Now put the lid on the container and tumble the strawberries for a minute so they can get saturated in the sugar.
  7. 7
    Now refrigerate the container for a couple of hours, and you will have the tastiest, sweetest strawberries in their own syrup.
  8. 8
    (I usually leave them in the refrigerator over night).

This is how my family has always prepared strawberries. Either to put on shortcake or just to eat plain. A southern delicacy! Thanks for posting!

    I grew up on this recipe! I've found that adding just a little vanilla flavor gives it a slightly more sophisticated taste.

    Jenn, this is usually the first thing I do with my strawberries when I bring them home from the store and have been doing it for years! I use them on everything from Belgian Waffles, pancakes, pound cake, ice cream, cheesecake, pudding, egg custard or even served alone in a fluted margarita glass with a dollop of real whipped cream. Simply too many serving suggestions to list!! Delicious!

    This is a great way to prepare strawberries for shortcake. I've always done it this way, and even though it's hard to wait for it to get syrupy, it is so worth it!
