Today I was lucky to indulge in a bowl of fraises
des bois and Mara des bois, courtesy of Nadim Ghorra, an economist by trade who
has developed a passion for growing berries and other fruit. In a small plot of
land on the sunny terraces of Mount Lebanon he leads a fight against pesticides
and promotes natural fertilisers. A
mammoth task in this tiny country!
I managed not to eat all the strawberries and had some left over to make jam tomorrow.
How to treat your strawberries
- Ensure the fruit is as fresh as possible.
- Wash your strawberries at the last minute and drain them well
- Keep the green caps and stems on until the fruit is used.
- Avoid eating fridge cold strawberries; leave them to warm up to room temperature.
