How does Strawberry Meringues sound?

I would have to dig... but typically you would warm 1 C brandy and 2 C sugar till sugar is dissolved. Then add berries - about 1 quart. Place in a jar (in fridge) and invert every few days. They are ready to eat in a 3 weeks. Fabulous on ice cream or pound cake. My mom used to do this but didn't refrigerate - I'm still alive so I guess it was OK....
Last night I had an impromtu dinner party and some one brought a strawberry appetizer that ROCKED! She cooked and served them as they came off the grill - I noticed a cluster of people hovering at the grill and got there in time to get the last one.
Fresh berries
Baguette
Chevre
Balsamic vinegar
Cleaned and halved strawberries grilled on wood skewers
French bread slices toasted on grill (not too much)
Smear goat cheese on bread, add a berry or two, drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
Swoon and do again.
That grilled strawberry sounds fantastic, Janet!
I like to slice the berries, add a very small amount of sugar to begin maceration and apply fresh ground black pepper and chill for 30 minutes...changes the taste...more strawberry flavor. I've also made peppered strawberry sorbet.
