Maple Strawberry Shortcake without refined sugars
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Strawberries
- ½ cup Sterling Valley Maple Granulated Maple Sugar
- Store bought Angel Food Cake or Shortcake (or your favorite homemade recipe)
Instructions
The trick to making a great strawberry sauce is to add sugar and then freeze the strawberries overnight. The freezing causes the individual cells of the strawberries to burst, releasing their sweet juices, and the sugar concentration induces osmosis to pull even more liquid from the strawberries. Each strawberry is different, so add sugar to taste.
For this recipe, we recommend using Sterling Valley Maple’s Certified Organic Granulated Maple Sugar.
