recipe adapted from Food & Wine

• 2 pounds strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest, plus more for garnish
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1 pint each vanilla & lemon ice cream

Put the strawberries in a large heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the honey with the lime juice and bring to a boil. Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon of lime zest and the cardamom. Pour the syrup over the strawberries, stirring to coat. Let stand, stirring once or twice, until the berries are juicy and slightly softened, 25 to 30 minutes.

Scoop the lemon & vanilla ice cream into glasses and top with the strawberries and their juices. Garnish with lime zest. Serve right away.
