Fresh strawberries marinaded in Port Wine Sauce. Served over Brocato’s French vanilla ice cream and topped with whipped cream.
Wash the fresh strawberries under cold water, remove the stems, and slice them in half.
In a medium saucepan, combine port wine, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the port wine sauce to cool slightly. Pour the sauce over the sliced strawberries and gently toss to coat. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
In serving bowls, place a scoop of French vanilla ice cream, then spoon the marinated strawberries with their sauce over the ice cream. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
