1 quart strawberries - cleaned, hulled and sliced
1 ½ cups red wine
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
¼ cup water
2 oranges, sliced into rounds
¼ cup Cointreau

Steps:

In a medium bowl, stir together the wine, water, and Cointreau. Add about 1/4 of the strawberries and the orange slices. Marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
