STRAWBERRIES WITH DOUBLE CREAM

SERVES 6-8

This is very good and festive for special occasions.

INGREDIENTS

3 egg yolks

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

1-1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

3/4 cup milk, scalded

2 pints strawberries, cleaned and hulled

1/2 cup Amaretto liqueur

1 cup whipped cream (already whipped)

Mix egg yolks, sugar and vanilla in saucepan. Stir in cornstarch; add milk gradually. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until very thick, 2-3 minutes after boiling. Remove custard to bowl; cover and refrigerate until cold. Place strawberries in medium bowl. Pour liqueur over berries. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Just before serving, stir 1/2 cup of the whipped cream into cold custard. Fold in remaining 1/2 cup of whipped cream. Spoon berries into individual serving dishes and top with cream mixture. (If desired, cream can be tossed with berries and then placed in serving dishes.)

Note: You can use your favorite liqueur as a substitute for the Ameretto.
