How can something so simple taste so good? And with the coconut or chocolate variations, simplicity tastes even better. Warming the berries just a bit, brings out their flavor.

• 2 Tbs. sugar
• 1 Tbs. butter
• 2 tsp. lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 lb. Driscoll's strawberries, rinsed and hulled
• 2 Tbs. shredded coconut, optional
• 2 Tbs. chocolate sprinkles, or finely chopped semisweet chocolate, optional

In a medium saucepan combine sugar, butter, lemon juice and cinnamon. Cook and stir over medium heat until syrupy and thick. Remove from heat and add berries, tossing gently to coat each berry. Serve immediately.

Options: Add coconut along with berries, toss to coat. Or cool glazed berries on a plate or cookie sheet, then roll in coconut, or chocolate, or both.
