SWEET WINES RECIPES
This simple dish evokes a warm summer evening, a wide front porch, quiet conversation and appreciative lip-smacking.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Serves 6
1 quart strawberries, washed, caps removed, and sliced
2 TB. sugar
1/2 cup light cream
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
Prepare strawberries, sprinkle with 2 TB. sugar, and set aside in a covered bowl to macerate. Wait at least 5 minutes.
In a bowl, mix light cream, sour cream, and 1/4 cup sugar. Distribute strawberries to small bowls, and top with cream.
An aura of sophistication surrounds this dish. Be sure to serve it in your grand dining room (the one with the table that seats 36). You'll need to multiply the dish if that table is full.
Prep time: 8 minutes
Cook time: 12 minutes
Serves 4
1/2 cup brown sugar
11/2 cups cooking sherry or red wine
1/2 cup water
1 tsp. baking spice or 1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. lemon juice
4 pears, peeled, sliced in half lengthwise, and cored
Confectioner's sugar as garnish
Combine sugar, sherry, water, spice, and lemon juice in a saucepan and heat to a simmer. Add pears, and simmer for 12 minutes or until pears are tender. Turn off the heat, and allow fruit to cool in its juices. Place two halves on each plate, spoon a bit of sauce over, and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. (If you really like juice, serve in bowls and distribute liquid with pears).
