Recipes for Over Ripe Strawberries

British strawberries are coming into their own just now, and are half price at Morrisons and BOGOF at Waitrose.

But when you buy a lot they can sometimes 'go over' to quickly. The answer? roast them or make a sorbet.

Preheat oven to 150. Place two pounds washed and dried strawberries, hulled but left whole, in a single layer in a 9-by-13 inch baking dish.

Drizzle with 5 tablespoons of honey, and toss gently to coat.

Bake until syrup begins to thicken and strawberries turn deep red and shrink slightly, about 1 hour 45 mins.

Let cool and serve over ice cream, yoghurt, biscuits or pancakes. Syrup will continue to thicken as berries cool.
