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
Directions
Step 1
1. Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and trim the green tops. Set aside.
Step 2
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the red wine, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
6. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of mint or a dusting of powdered sugar for added presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
