| Strawberries in Red Wine with Vanilla Bean |
| Sweet and juicy on their own, fresh strawberries take on another flavor dimension in this simple yet |
| elegant French dessert. The vanilla bean can be omitted, if desired. |
| 2 pints (1 lb.) small or medium strawberries |
| 2 cups dry red wine, such as Merlot or Zinfandel |
| 1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise |
| Hull the strawberries. Then, if any have a white core, cut it away with the tip of a sharp knife. Slice |
| some of the larger berries in half but leave most of the berries whole. |
| Combine all the berries in a nonaluminum bowl, sprinkle with the sugar, to taste, and add the wine |
| and vanilla bean. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours. |
| Spoon into 6 glass bowls, sprinkle lightly with sugar, if desired, and serve cold. Serves 6. |
