Making the Scone

  • Dice or slice fruit as preferred and add to saucepan.
  • Measure then add sugar and water.
  • Bring to rolling boil on stove.
  • Allow to cook for 15 minutes or until reduced to the thickness you prefer.

Making Homemade Whipped Cream

  • Measure the heavy cream into a mixing bowl.
  • Beat on high with mixer until stiff peaks form. Approximately five minutes.
  • Measure and add the sugar and vanilla.
  • Mix the whipped cream to blend in sugar and vanilla another minute.
  • Refrigerate the whipped cream until needed.

Assembly of Dessert

  • Using your knife slice lengthwise through a wedge and add a few spoonfuls of the strawberry sauce to center.
