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)
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.

Back to TopSo 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.
