Fragole con Vino

Ingredients

1 pint local, seasonal strawberries
3 to 4 tablespoons sugar (or more, if you want to be really Italian)
1/2 cup quality wine (red, white or sparkling)
  1. Clean the berries. Split or slice them into a bowl. Sprinkle with sugar. Add wine, stir, and marinate for at least 10 minutes. Serve immediately. Lengthy soaking results in soggy berries.

  • So simple, but really good. You need ripe strawberries with good flavor. Don't worry if they're not sweet. The sugar takes care of that. A good use for that wine that's no longer quite good enough to drink but not bad enough to toss.
