Spring is Strawberry Season, and while Italians generally season (for want of a better term) bowls of strawberries with sugar and either white wine or lemon juice, one can use other things. Marsala, for example:
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 1/8 pounds (500 g) strawberries, washed, drained, hulled, and quartered
- 1 1/2 cups (150 g) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (250 ml) dry Marsala (or Sherry)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Preparation:
Put the strawberries in a bowl, sprinkle the vinegar over them, turn them to coat them well, cover the bowl, and chill it in the refrigerator for an hour.
In the meantime, combine the Marsala and the sugar, and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Sprinkle the Marsala over the strawberries, mix gently, and chill the strawberries for another hour before serving them. Will serve 4.
