An interesting combination of flavors. I found this while searching for recipes for the recipe swap. Ingredients:
1 lemon |
1 cup sugar |
2/3 cup water |
1 1/4 cups orange juice |
1 tablespoon green peppercorn, coarsely crushed |
1 lb strawberry |
fresh mint leaves (optional) |
half-and-half (optional) |
Directions:
1. Finely grate peel from lemon and put into a saucepan. Squeeze juice from lemon and reserve. Add sugar and water to lemon peel and heat gently, stirring until sugar dissolves.
2. Bring to a boil and boil until syrup turns a light caramel color. Remove from heat and hold pan handle with a cloth as mixture will splatter. Stir in lemon and orange juices. Heat gently, stirring to dissolve caramel.
3. Stir in peppercorns and boil 3-4 minutes or until slightly thickened and syrupy. Allow to cool 2 minutes, then spoon hot syrup over strawberries. Garnish with mint, if desired, and serve at once with half-and-half, if desired.
