Did you need a choice? Turn this into a smoothie at serving time by running it in the blender again OR scrape up spoonfuls into pretty serving dishes and drizzle with more WINE or gingerale. Either way-this is sure to capture your Valentine's heart! Just watch out for those brain-freeze headaches!!! COOKING TIME = CHILLING TIME. Ingredients:
1/4 cup honey, warmed |
2/3 cup white wine |
1/4 cup brandy |
6 cups sliced strawberries (fresh or frozen) |
1 cup seedless raspberry preserves |
fresh strawberries |

2. Pour berries & preserves into blender; whirl for 15 seconds; add wine mixture; whirl again until well-blended.
