When the farmers market’s finest berries meet foil and fire, it’s the beginning of a beautiful friendship. These ember-roasted strawberries are light on prep and heavy on flavor. Simply fold everything into a double-layer foil pouch, set it on the campfire coals (or on a grate directly above), rotate periodically, and wait, preferably while sipping ice-cold tepache. Serve the juicy roasted strawberries as is or over ice cream or slices of pound cake. Or drizzle the berries with heavy cream and dive in.
