Ingredients

• 1 pint fresh strawberries, washed & hulled
• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 stick cinnamon
• Juice from 1/2 an orange
• Dash nutmeg
• Dash allspice
• 2 cups sour cream or yogurt
• 1/2 cup dry red wine
• Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. 1
   Put the first 8 ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes, or until the strawberries are soft. Discard the cinnamon stick and puree the mixture in a food processor or blender.
2. 2
   Chill the puree until serving time. At serving time, stir in the sour cream and wine, beating with a wire whisk to combine the ingredients well. Pour into glass bowls and garnish with a floating mint leaf.

   NOTE: Always wash the strawberries before you hull; otherwise they will get soggy.
