The lemon juice really affected the flavor the strawberries. I would not recommend this recipe. It had the right consistency but the flavor was way off. -
I used lemon juice and it came out great! So simple! I used it to make a compote to pour over a cheesecake I was making. -
This was a good start to what I needed -- I used Chambord instead of the Grand Marnier and add some Limoncello along with the chambord. I cut the sugar down to 1/4 cup and my husband rated this a 10 and wants it for his birthday over my pound cake! -
This recipe was ok, but the grand marnier made it way too strong for me. Maybe with the lemon juice, it would have been better? It just wasn't quite what I was looking for, but it might work well for someone else.
