Strawberries Cordon Bleu 2

Ingredients

1 lb strawberries
¼ lb ratafias, or 2 macaroons
1 orange
1 tablespoon caster sugar
¼ pint double cream

Method

Hull the strawberries and place them in a bowl with the ratafias (or macaroons broken in 3-4 pieces.) Grate the rind of the orange on the finest side of the grater, taking care not to remove any pith. Squeeze juice from the orange and pour half over the strawberries. Put the grated rind and remaining orange juice in a small basin, add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Whip the cream, sweeten with this orange syrup and pile on top of the strawberries. Chill for 1 hour before serving.
