Ingredients:


1/2 cup sugar

3 tablespoons water

1/3 cup pine nuts

1 cup whipping cream well chilled

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 pints strawberries hulled -- quartered
 

Preparation / Directions:


Vanilla yogurt can be used in place of whipped cream. 1. Lightly oil a flat baking sheet. Put the sugar in a small heavy saucepan; drizzle water over and swirl the pan so all the sugar is moistened. Cook over medium-high heat, watching closely, until sugar is melted and mixture is a rich medium brown. Add pine nuts and remove from heat. Immediately pour onto baking sheet and cool completely. 2. Break cooled nut mixture into pieces. Grind to a powder in a food processor or blender. 3. Whip cream until it holds soft peaks. Mix in vanilla and half of ground nut mixture. 4. To serve, place a spoonful of whipped cream into serving bowls; top with berries and a small sprinkling of nut powder.
