Infusing red wine with warm spices and herbs creates a fragrant syrup for the distinctive ruby-hued compote. Serve over ice cream, pound cake, or with almond biscotti, and garnish with mint. Ingredients:
1 cup dry red wine |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns |
2 (2 1/2-inch) orange rind strips |
1 cinnamon stick |
1 bay leaf |
4 cups sliced strawberries |
1 cup blueberries |
Directions:
1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a small nonaluminum saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes or until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup. Drain wine mixture in a colander over a large bowl; discard solids. Add berries; toss to coat. Serve warm or chill up to 2 hours.
