Soviet union/Russia- strawberries romanoff

So I was cooking this lovely dessert from Betty crockers around the world cook book, this dessert had to be the most simple and refreshing dessert. All you do is soak 1 quart berries in 3 to 4 tablespoons of kirsch or triple sec orange liquor mixed mixed with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar for 2 hours or over night. After 2 hours beat 1 cup of whipped cream until soft peaks form and fold in strawberries. (I used 1/2tsp of Tahitian vanilla extract with the cream because it enhances the cherry flavor of the kirsch, if used). Your dessert is very light and has a balance of sweetness and tang from the strawberries. It's amazing how such a simple dish was once popular in gourmet restaurants in the 1970's and now it's hardly known.
