Ingredients

  • tablespoons mint leaves fresh chopped
  • pints strawberries 
  •  vanilla pod (available here)

Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • knife
  • stove

Directions

  1. Take a sharp paring knife (I use this set), and hull the strawberries by slicing away their green leaves. Then chop the strawberries into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss the strawberries into a medium-sized saucepan, and crumble the jaggery over them. Take the vanilla bean and a sharp paring knife, and cut a slit down its length to expose its seeds.
  2. Place the vanilla bean into the saucepan with the strawberries and jaggery. Turn the stove to medium-low. Allow the strawberries to stew in the sugar until they release their juices, and those juices turn syrupy - about 15 minutes. Turn off the stove. Pluck out the vanilla bean, and scrape its seeds into the strawberries. Stir in the chopped mint, allowing a minute or 2 for the mint to wilt in the residual heat of the strawberries.
  3. Serve warm.
