Strawberries and Cream
Fresh strawberries are pretty delicious on their own. Adding this cream topping makes them an elegant dessert for a dinner party. I like it with Amaretto liqueur, you could use orange juice in place of liqueur if you prefer.

Ingredients:
1 cup whipping cream 2 tablespoons white sugar 1/2 cup sour cream 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or Amaretto liqueur 1 1/2 - 2 pints fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl whip the cream and sugar with a mixer until thick but not stiff. Add the sour cream and beat until mixture is thoroughly combined. Continue to beat while gradually pouring in the liqueur. Divide strawberries between 6 dessert dishes. Reserve 6 strawberries for garnish. Pour cream over berries. Top with a reserved strawberry. Serve immediately
