  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Macerated Strawberries

Instructions

French Toast

  • Heat the griddle to 300 degrees.

  • Place slices on a buttered griddle and cook until golden. Flip and repeat.

Sauce

  • Combine the strawberries, orange juice and zest, sugar, and salt in a small pot, and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce to a simmer until berries are soft, about 5-8 minutes. Using a stick blender, blend until smooth.
  • Bring to a simmer for 10 more minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Macerated Strawberries

  • Prepare the macerated strawberries by gently mixing them with the sugar. Let sit for a half-hour while preparing the rest.
