Method

Put ⅔ of the strawberries in a saucepan with the sugar and cardamom seeds. Cook over a low-medium heat for 8-10 mins, gently stirring occasionally, until syrupy and starting to break down. Add the remaining strawberries and lemon juice, cook for 1 min more, then remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. Serve with vanilla ice cream and chopped pistachios, if you like.
