1 qt. whole ripe strawberries, unwashed, unhulled
1 c. pure maple syrup
6 glass salt dips or sm. cups
6 wide short glasses
12 ice cubes

On individual dessert plates, arrange berries around salt; dip filled with maple syrup. Add short glasses half filled with water and ice cubes.

TO EAT: Guests pick up berries by stem. Dip in water to wash. Dip in syrup and enjoy. The affinity of natural sugar to natural sugar is exquisite.
