How to Make Strawberries And Melon In Plum Wine

  1. Hull and halve large strawberries lengthwise. Leave smaller strawberries whole.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine the strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the strawberries to release their juices. (Adjust sugar to 1 tablespoon if your strawberries are particularly sweet).
  3. While the strawberries are macerating, cut the cantaloupe into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Add the cubed cantaloupe to the strawberries.
  5. Pour in 1/4 cup of plum wine and stir gently to combine.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Before serving, give the mixture a gentle stir. Spoon the fruit and its delicious plum wine sauce into individual bowls or dessert glasses.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves (optional) for an extra touch of elegance.
