Strawberries Arnaud
Ingredients
1 cup ruby port
1 cup red burgundy-style wine
½ orange, sliced
1 lime, sliced
1 cinnamon stick
½ cup granulated sugar
3 cups vanilla ice cream
3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
Lightly sweetened whipped cream
Six whole, perfect strawberries with their stems
Sprigs of mint
Directions
In a medium saucepan, combine the port and wine and place over medium-high heat.
Bring to a boil, then add the orange and lime slices and the cinnamon stick and sugar. Return to a boil, then remove from the heat and let cool for at least 30 minutes. Strain the sauce. Cover and refrigerate until serving (the sauce will keep for up to two weeks).
To serve, place a scoop of ice cream in each of 6 coupe style champagne glasses. Cover the ice cream with the sliced strawberries and drizzle generously with the port-wine sauce. Atop each, add a dollop of whipped cream, a whole strawberry and a sprig of fresh mint for show. Serve at once.
