How to turn squishy strawberries into a classic British dessert – recipe | Waste not

Their short shelf life might count against them, but even when they’re past their best, strawberries still offer plenty of possibility

This year, I’m an ambassador for Cole & Mason, a British brand that makes some of the best pepper mills I know and for whom I’ve come up with The Art of Seasoning, a recipe series about my approach to seasoning food. It covers both the basics, including the impact of different salts and peppers, as well as innovative ways to use seasoning, such as in Eton mess and today’s posset. Strawberries have a pretty short shelf life, but even when they’re a bit squishy, they can still be turned into something delicious, be that a topping for your morning porridge or this simple, rich and seasonal dessert.
