Experiment with this recipe and use your favorite sweet dessert wine. Dessert wines made from muscat grapes are some of my favorites.
Serves 4

2 pints

strawberries

1 l

1/4 cup

port

60 ml

3 Tbsp.

sugar

45 ml

1/4 cup

mascarpone cheese

60 ml

2 Tbsp.

liquid honey

30 ml

1/2 cup

whipping cream, softly whipped

120 ml

Quickly wash and dry the strawberries by setting them out on paper towels. Hull and cut the strawberries into quarters. Transfer to a bowl and add the port and sugar. Stir gently to combine and let sit at room temperature for half an hour.
Whisk the mascarpone with the honey until smooth and fold in the whipped cream. Spoon the strawberries into four wine glasses and garnish with the mascarpone cream.
