Notes

By Laurie Burrows Grad, from Hour Magazine. Variations: a combination of berries (strawberries, raspberries and blueberries) can be used; crème fraîche may be substituted for sour cream. Make-it-easy tips: the cream can be prepared a day or two in advance and chilled until ready to use; wash strawberries before hulling to prevent loss of juice.
