Servings: 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 lb. strawberries hulled and quartered
  • 130 g ¾ cup cherries, hulled and halved
  • 24 oz. 3 cups white wine, dry, quality, separated
  • 75 g 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon orange blossom water [optional]
  • Vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  • Over stove top, reduce remaining 2 ½ cups wine over medium heat for 35-40 minutes or until it reduces to about 1 cup. Add honey and stir. Set aside.
  • In a cast iron skillet on outdoor grill or fire, roast strawberries and cherries over medium low heat with ½ cup wine, covered, for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally, being careful to not burn with heat fluctuations that may happen.
  • Remove cover from strawberries at 15 minute mark and continue to roast, stirring occasionally for another 25 minutes, for a total of 40 minutes or until strawberries turn syrupy and liquid is minimal.
  • Add reduced wine and honey to strawberries while still roasting. Stir and continue to roast for another 15 to 20 minutes or until reduced and syrupy once again.
