While berries are in season, and relatively inexpensive, buy extra and freeze them in resealable plastic bags to use during winter.

Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled, plus extra unhulled berries for garnishing
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 3/4 cups heavy cream or half-and-half

Preparation

Step 1

Cut any large strawberries in half. Place the berries in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 2 hours.

In a blender, combine the sugar and cream or half-and-half. Blend for about 20 seconds or until the sugar dissolves. Add the frozen berries and purée. Divide the mixture among 4 glasses and garnish with the whole berries. Serve immediately.
