Notes

To cut up the strawberries, I like cutting a cone out of the top (trying to remove any white and the stem) and then turning them upside down and quartering them. If they’re really big, you can cut each side in half horizontally as well to create eighths.

It’s easiest to divide them equally if you just put one half of each strawberry in each serving bowl as you’re cutting.
