WINE-ROASTED STRAWBERRIES

Wine-Roasted Strawberries image

Roasted in white wine with orange and lemon juices, the flavor of the strawberries intensifies. This is a good technique to perk up less than stellar berries. Use the strawberries as a topping for a simple dessert like Citrus Cornmeal Cake.
