This was absolutely delicious. I didn't have Strawberries so I couldn't add them, but it was incredibly yummy. I will definitely make this again!
This was terrific and well received by all, can’t wait to have this again, I think it would work well with duck or venison! Have photos happy to share
Andrea, Great! I’d love to see you pics. You can send them to gale@skinnyms.com. 🙂
We made this for dinner tonight. It was a huge hit and really easy to make. Will definitely make it again!
Can we do this recipe on the grill and make the sauce separately?
Kimmi, I think the grill is a great idea! Yes, you can do the sauce separately.
I love strawberries!
