Fire Roasted Strawberries
"My husband made this for me for my birthday a couple of years ago, and it has since become a favorite dessert of ours. We've served it over top of ice cream, and also with pound cake & whipped cream. He found the recipe on the Weber Grill website."
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 2 pints large strawberries
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 fluid ounces orange-flavored liqueur (or 2 tbsp water & 2 tbsp lemon juice)
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
directions
- Hull the strawberries and then trim the stem ends so they will sit flat in the pan. In a medium bowl, combine the berries with the sugar, vanilla, and liqueur and toss to coat.
- Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (450 to 550 F).
- Use the soft butter to generously coat the bottom and sides on an 8 x 8 inch baking pan (suitable for the grill). The pan should be just large enough to hold the berries in a single layer with their sides almost touching (this allows the berries to gently support one another as they begin to soften). Remove the berries from the bowl and line them up so that they fit snuggly, pointing up, in the prepared pan. Pour the contents from the bowl over the berries.
- Brush the cooking grates clean. Place the pan over direct high heat, close the lid and cook until the strawberries are bubbling and beginning to slump, about 8 to 12 minutes. Cooking times will vary depending on the variety, size, and ripeness of the strawberries. Watch closely to catch them before they collapse. Remove from the grill.
- Spoon the pan juices over the berries to moisten them, let cool for 5 minutes, and then carefully cut them into quarters, or leave whole. Ladle berries over ice cream.

<p>I am not a very interesting person. I like to cook, I like to eat, and I love my husband Rick and my son Hugh. Thats pretty much it when it comes to me, that and an obsession for cats, especially our 2, Bunny & Bindy Sue. We live in Lake Dallas, TX, and have been married since August 16th, 2003. Hugh was born October 19th, 2009. Rick and I met on the internet in September 2001, and when we were married I moved from NJ where I grew up, to the big, scary, strange city of Dallas. There are things I like about Dallas and things I don't. I am definitely homesick for some real NY style pizza.</p>
