Compote of Strawberries

Select some fine ripe strawberries, carefully pick off the stems, drop them one by one into some syrup boiled to 22 degrees, and allow them to just simmer; then pour them carefully into a basin, and leave until cold. Arrange the strawberries in the form of an elevated cone in a compote-dish, pour the syrup round, and serve them.
