Ingredients

20, with stems (400g) Strawberries — More vitamin C than an orange by weight, and the stems make useful handles for dipping.
120g Dark Chocolate — 70% or above. Milk chocolate is mostly sugar and it buries the fruit entirely.
chopped (25g) Pistachios — Pressed into the chocolate before it sets, for colour and crunch.

Method

Wash the strawberries well ahead and dry them completely.
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over barely simmering water, keeping every drop of steam away from it.
Dip each berry two thirds of the way, then set on baking paper.
Scatter the pistachios on before the chocolate sets, and chill 20 minutes.
