Macerated Strawberries
from May 2, 2009 Fork You Live
2 pounds of strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
Put strawberries in a non-reactive bowl (stainless steel, ceramic or glass) and add sugar, lemon juice and Grand Marnier. Mash to combine (you want to really bang the berries up). Set aside so that the berries and mellow out and release their juices.
Serve over angel food or pound cake. Top with vanilla yogurt or whipped cream.

OMG, I must make this when my bro-in-law from South Jersey comes to visit next week!
Love the addition of Grand Mariner! I’ll have to try that next time
I macerated strawberries in honey, mint and black pepper and a pinch of salt a while back. heavenly. i served them with some unripe nectarines that I put on the grill and mixed some with tequila. then i ate the rest.
oh yeah, and some lime juice.
