I am surprised I haven't posted a strawberry recipe here this season. As it is indeed strawberry season here and before they are finished I was like I should post something.
But to be honest I have not been baking for almost a month, unless if you cound the spelt bread I make twice a week.
Last friday while i was in the grocerry shop saw these beautiful plump looking strawberries and I grabed a box and then picked up a box of cream too.
And when i came home I was like what I can i make then suddenly I thought about one of my earliest recipe here and that is something I make every year.
But then this time I thought I will do with different booze.
From one of our earlier trips to Italy I had picked up two bottle of Fragola from Paestum.
Fragola is An infusion and distillate of wild strawberries, infused for over 4 months after harvest. Slightly sweet with enveloping ripe strawberry notes and an unexpected softness on the palate. Delicious served chilled.
This is hubby playing for a Music Festival in Innsbruck.

Finla, your husband's playing is beautiful! The piece of music is gorgeous. I love stringed instruments and this is so lovely. As is your dessert (but in another way). I love fresh strawberry desserts and paired with cointreau is magnificent. And with whipped cream, heaven.

First of all, I can't believe that the first thing I see on your blog for the first time I enter on it is a strawberries and cream dream, exactly what I was thinking we should make! :)
And second but not least, you must be very proud of your talented husband. Hat's off to him. :)
