Chef’s Notes

• When berries are not in season, use frozen berries. Before adding, bring berries to room temperature and drain off any liquid. Use reserved berry liquid to flavor sparkling water or club soda for a naturally sweet, low calorie drink.
• If using whole strawberries, cut in half or slice before using.
