STRAWBERRY FOOL

Steps:

• Hull strawberries, then wash them and chop into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Toss with half the sugar, and wait 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they give up their juices.
• Place half the strawberries and all the juice in a blender, and puree. Pour puree back in bowl with chopped strawberries.
• Whip the cream with remaining sugar and vanilla until cream is stiff and holds peaks easily. Fold berries and cream together, and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to two hours.

SUNNY'S STRAWBERRY FOOL

Steps:

• In a bowl, toss together the strawberries, orange juice, and sugar. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, tossing a few times while it rests.
• To make the whipped cream: In a large bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the honey, sugar, and vanilla. Continue to whisk until medium stiff peaks form.
• Remove the strawberries from the bowl with a slotted spoon and add to the whipped cream. With a rubber spatula, gently fold the strawberries into the whipped cream. Pour into a serving glass or dish and serve with graham crackers, either crumbled over the top or use them as a scoop.

STRAWBERRY FOOL (LIGHT)

Steps:

• Combine strawberries and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Cover and chill 2 hours.
• Combine brown sugar, confectioners sugar, vanilla extract and yogurt and sour cream in a blender. Blend for a minute or two so that the sugars are blended in and you have incorporated a bit of air in the dairy mix. (i've also done this with an immersion blender.) Turn out into a covered bowl and chill for 2 hours.
• Just before serving, gently fold the strawberry mixture into the yogurt mixture until swirled.

STRAWBERRY FOOL

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the strawberries (reserve a few slices for garnish), sugar and lemon juice. Puree until smooth. Push the berry mixture through a sieve and discard the seeds.
• Using an electric mixer, whip the cream just until stiff peaks form. Take a large spoonful of the whipped cream and stir it into the strawberry puree to lighten the mix. Fold the strawberry mixture gently into the whipped cream. Gently spoon the fool into a chilled serving bowl and garnish with the reserved strawberries and mint leaves. Refrigerate before serving, at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
