Strawberries Romanoff

Strawberries are now in season in many markets. Serve this as dessert or remove the liquor and make it into a healthy breakfast.

Ingredients:
1 cup Stonyfield Farm yogurt cheese
1/4 cup of light brown sugar
2 tablespoons orange liquor
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 pints strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 tablespoons pecans, toasted for garnish (optional)

Directions:
Prepare the yogurt cheese by lining a colander with 3 — 4 layers of cheesecloth and allowing the whey to strain from one quart of yogurt for 6 — 8 hours. One quart of yogurt should yield approximately 2 cups of yogurt cheese.

Clean, hull and slice strawberries and set aside. To make the sauce, combine yogurt cheese, brown sugar, orange liquor, vanilla and cinnamon and let sit for one hour. To serve, layer sliced strawberries and sauce into wine glasses. Serve chilled.

How and why would you 'hull' a strawberry? Does that mean 'peel'? I grew up in strawberry land and always used a sharp knife to pop out the green leaves on top, but never peeled one.

Yep, remove the top with a sharp knife or strawberry huller.

I will try this recipe this weekend but I mostly like strawberries sliced with real whipped cream and angel food cake. But some folks leave out the cake and enjoy them naturally.

Cheryl, I looked for yogurt cheese and could not find it. Is there any other name, or type that I could look for?

If you don't want to make it yourself, I would suggest that you look in the Organic Food section of the supermarket or in a Health Food Store. My friend suggested using Marscapone (sp?) cheese instead. It's the same cheese that's used in Tiramisu.

Good luck!
