Weekend quark games

Last night and today I followed up on one of the ideas inspired by Friday's dinner and did a couple of different quark variations to go with some macerated strawberries.

Saturday night I whipped the quark with a bit of sugar and a splash of kirsch and then threw in the freezer to set up a bit. This was quite good, but I could have added a bit more sugar.

This afternoon I whipped the quark with more sugar and a splash of yuzu (Andrea's idea, based on her memory of the quark and grapes we did back in October). This was tasty enough to eat on its own... with the strawberries it was excellent.

It's a real testament to what violence Californian growers have done to the fruit that the strawberries we buy here in the supermarket are better than the ones we could get at farmers markets in the SF Bay area. We had some decent berries from our CSA box in CA, but they were the exception to the rule.
