Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup Sugar
3 tablespoon Water
1/3 cup Pine nuts
1 cup Whipping cream
well chilled
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 pint Strawberries
hulled -- quartered

Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 5 minutes. 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. Chicago Tribune, 08/05/93.
