Strawberries In Cointreau

Directions

1. 1
   Hull and halve strawberries, leaving about 8 whole for pavlova decoration, and put into a medium bowl; scoop passionfuit into bowl; add Cointreau to taste & sugar and chill for an hour or two.
2. 2
   Before topping pavlova with strawberries and passionfruit, drain juice from the fruit, being careful not to lose any of the passionfruit pulp; taste and add more Cointreau and sugar if necessary.
3. 3
   Thicken the juice with arrowroot over a low heat to make a pouring sauce, not too thick as it will thicken as it chills - amount of arrowroot needed depends on how much juice you have from the strawberries.
4. 4
   After adding cream to pavlova, top with the strawberries, both sliced and whole (leave leaves on whole strawberries) and pour over the sauce.
