Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 250 milliliters red wine
- 80 grams granulated sugar
- 200 grams sour cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and trim the green tops. Set aside.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the red wine, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Bring the wine mixture to a simmer and let it reduce for about 15-20 minutes, or until it thickens into a syrup-like consistency. Stir occasionally and do not let it boil vigorously. Once reduced, remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
4. While the red wine sauce cools, prepare the sweet sour cream. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
5. To serve, divide the strawberries evenly among four serving bowls or plates. Drizzle each portion with the cooled red wine sauce and add a generous dollop of the sweetened sour cream.
6. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of mint or a dusting of powdered sugar for added presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
