Strawberries with Macerated Sugar and Crème Fraîche
A simple French bistro classic where ripe strawberries are macerated with sugar and a touch of lemon until they release their own sweet syrup, then finished with a spoonful of cool, tangy crème fraîche and fresh mint. No cooking, no fuss — just the fruit itself, treated with restraint.
