Strawberry Shortcakes
A classic dessert, especially during the summer shortcake season. I like to use a mix of blueberries and strawberries for an annual 4th of July dessert.
Strawberry Shortcakes

Instructions
- Slice the strawberries (and/or other fruit) and combine with the sugar and vanilla.
- Let this sit in the fridge for at least 20 minutes and preferably for 4 hours to chill and to allow the sugar to juice the fruit.
