Macerated Strawberries


Ingredients

Ingredient Qty.   Unit
medium size strawberries, hulled and sliced 2   pt
red wine 3/4   c
honey 1   TBSP
sugar 4   TBSP
finely grated or chopped lemon zest 1/2   tsp
ground black pepper 1   pinches


Instructions

1) Combine all ingredients in a bowl.

2) Let stand in the refigerator for at least two hours.

3) Story: Alton Brown uses a whole, full-size bottle of red wine; we use a mini bottle and decrease the sweetness, too, to make it more berry than liquid. We like it over pound cake or shortcake, Alton Brown used it for strawberry trifle, and we think it would also be good warm over ice cream or over pancakes/waffles.


Yield: 3 pints of strawberries and liquid
