Minted Strawberries

Minted Strawberries - ButterYum

This is one of my all-time favorite ways to enjoy fresh strawberries.  They're so simple to make, yet so "gourmet".  Serve them at any meal, or even as a light dessert.

serves 2

8-10 ripe strawberries, chopped into 3/4-inch cubes
1/2 - 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar, depending on how sweet the berries are (or white granulated sugar)
2 mint leaves, sliced into thin ribbons

Combine all the ingredients together; stir to coat and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the strawberries start to release their juice.  Stir again and serve.  Chill leftovers
