The secret to this ice cream sundae is in the topping. A wineglass makes an appropriate serving dish for a scoop of vanilla ice cream and warm strawberries with red wine and black pepper.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pints strawberries, stems removed
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup dry red wine
One 3-inch-long cinnamon stick
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
1 pint vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
4 sprigs fresh mint, for garnish

Steps:

  • If strawberries are small, cut in half; if large, cut in quarters.
  • Combine sugar, red wine, and cinnamon stick in a large skillet; cook over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.
  • Add strawberries and pepper; cook until berries soften slightly, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, discard cinnamon stick, and divide berries and sauce among dishes; serve with vanilla ice cream and a sprig of mint, if desired.
