Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups light rum
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 quart medium-sized strawberries with their stems
- 1 cup white sugar
Instructions:
- In a large measuring cup, blend the rum and lime juice. With a toothpick, gently puncture the strawberries in several spots. Arrange the berries, stem side up, snugly in a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan so they're propped upright. Pour the rum-lime mixture over the fruit and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight for deeper flavor.
- After soaking, carefully drain and reserve the rum mixture (see Cook's Note). Spread the sugar on a plate. Gently roll each berry in the sugar until coated. Place on a serving tray and serve immediately.
Cook's Note: To use the rum mixture as a beverage: Pour the strained rum-lime liquid into a pitcher packed with ice, add 1/2 cup simple syrup (or to taste), 2 cups cold water, a few mint sprigs, and a few lime slices.
