Time 1h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 pints strawberries, stemmed
1 cup sugar
1/4 seedless cucumber, peeled
6 strawberries
4 drops lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Mix the strawberries and sugar together in a metal bowl covered with plastic wrap and place over a bain marie making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Cook over low heat for 1 hour and 15 minutes, at which point the berries will be floating in liquid.
  • To obtain the juice, drain the berries over a bowl for 2 hours. Some solids will have passed through the strainer and settled in the bowl. Chill the juice until ready to serve. Save the berries for flavoring ice cream.
  • Dice the peeled cucumber and strawberries very finely, like a brunoise, then toss together carefully with the lemon juice and sugar. In the center of each soup bowl, place a pile of the diced strawberry mixture. Pour the garnet colored strawberry soup around it.
