Strawberries in Red WinePetrina Tinslay

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.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    1 1/4 hr

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

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

Preparation

  1. Step 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.)

    Step 2

    Serve berries in small bowls with some of their juices.
