Eleni's Amaretto Thing

2 lbs strawberries, rinsed, dried, hulled and quartered
amaretto, to taste
whipping cream
sugar (grind it up fine in food processor)

Toss strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup amaretto and let macerate for about an hour. There should be a substantial amount of juice. Whip cream until soft peaks. Add about 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup amaretto. Whip stiff. If you're like me, it's not strong enough so add a splash more amaretto. You want enough amaretto to feel like a lush for making this dish, but not so much that the cream won't hold a peak anymore. Serve a few spoons of strawberries per person, ladle over some juice, and slop and good measure of cream on top.
