Sweet early strawberries in their prime and a good bottle of fruit-forward red wine you just can't go wrong with the simple combination of these two stellar ingredients. Ingredients:
2 cups fruity red wine such as santa maddalena, barbera, valpolicella, merlot, or zinfandel |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
about 1/2 cup sugar |
1 lb strawberries (2 pt), trimmed, and halved if large |
Directions:
1. Stir together wine, lemon juice, and sugar (to taste) in a bowl. Stir in strawberries and let macerate at room temperature 1 hour, then chill until cold, up to 1 hour but no longer. (Fruit will become too soft if it steeps for more than 2 hours.)
2. Serve berries in small bowls with some of their juices.
