Macerating is a means of tenderizing and sweetening fruits: dried or fresh. Place your fruit – strawberries, apple slices, dried figs, etc - in a bowl and sprinkle with a few tablespoons of sugar. Gently mix and store in the fridge. The process starts immediately. The sugar will begin to break down the skin and the juice/moisture from the fruit will start to come out. Serve the fruit with ice cream, meats – macerated apples with pork anyone? – or fish. Some spices, such as cardamom and cinnamon, are lovely additions to macerated fruits. Even black pepper with strawberries and a couple of drops of balsamic vinegar is a nice side for cheese, a piece of venison, or other game.
