Default Anise Scented Strawberries

This is one that I made last night. It's from Ainsley's Low-Fat Meals in Minutes

225g strawberries (small ones are definitely best)
150 ml fresh orange juice (squeeze it yourself or buy a small bottle of the fresh squeezed stuff)
2 tablespoons caster sugar
1 star anise
1 teaspoon caraway seeds

Hull the strawberries and chuck into a bowl
Put the rest of the ingredients in a small pan, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 mins.
Pour the mixture over the strawberries, allow to cool and then cover & chill in the fridge for anywhere between 1 and 8 hours.

This works out to 2 WW points per portion. I'll put the actual cals/sfat values (from the book!) here when I get home.

He recommends that you serve this with meringues and some low-fat greek yoghurt or over low-fat icecream.

Both myself and Dave thought that they were scrummy! I'd say that one hour marinating time wasn't enough (we had a mix of huge strawberries and also small ones) so try to get them marinating early

Oh, I missed saying this, but I think a recipe threat is a great idea
