Biscuit Strawberry Shortcake

Freshly brined strawberries and buttermilk biscuits topped with whipped cream is a sweet and savory end to a meal.

A combination of Morton Kosher Salt and sugar is used to brine the strawberries, and helps to coax out the juices, and creates a flavorful sauce as it enhances the natural sugar of the fruit. Morton Kosher Salt creates visual texture for the biscuit tops and counteracts the sweetness from the cream and strawberries.
