Tips for the Best Sumac Strawberries

  • Adjust the Sweetness: If your strawberries are very sweet, you can reduce the amount of honey or leave it out entirely for a more tart flavor.
  • Extra Zest: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the mixture for an extra zing.
  • Craving Crunch? For an extra dose of Middle Eastern flair, top with chopped pistachios or walnuts
