Macerated Strawberries

Author: Ellen Larsen

Prep time: 5 MinTotal time: 5 Min

Low FODMAP portion 40g

Ingredients

• 250g fresh strawberries
• 3 tsp white/granular sugar
• 2 oz or 55mls Spiced Rum*

Instructions

1. Top your strawberries and slice into quarters, or slightly smaller if you are dealing with larger strawberries.
2. Pop into an airtight container** and sprinkle over the sugar, and liquor, then mix gently together.
3. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
4. If you like, mash your strawberries gently with a steel potato masher for a little twist on this classic.

Notes

* if in elimination phase, to avoid FODMAP stacking of fructans use a good quality whisky, brandy, or vodka so you can have a little more at a time!

** I prefer using glass containers for this recipe to avoid staining plastics or residual smell, and it’s also easier to clean.
