Ingredients

  • 3 cups halved strawberries
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp almond extract
  • Fresh mint sprigs

Directions

  1. Combine strawberries and brown sugar; let stand at room temp 30 minutes.

  2. Combine granulated sugar, salt, and eggs in a large bowl, stirring well with a whisk.

  3. Heat milk in a small, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat to 180 degrees or until tiny bubbles form around the edges (do not boil). Gradually add milk to egg mixture, stirring contantly with a whisk. Return milk mix to pan; cook over medium-low heat 5 minutes or until slightly thick and mix coats the back of a spoon, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in extracts. Serve warm or chilled over strawberries. Garnish with mint, if desired.
