How to Make Warm Strawberries In Strawberry Sauce For Ice Cream

  1. Combine 1 lb (450g) strawberries, 1/4 cup (60ml) dry red wine, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, zest of 1 orange, 1 tablespoon orange juice, and 1 star anise in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen.
  5. Remove the star anise. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (or use an immersion blender).
  6. Blend until completely smooth.
  7. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl using a rubber spatula to press out all the deliciousness.
  8. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve (can be made ahead of time).
  9. When ready to serve, gently pour the chilled sauce into a medium saucepan.
  10. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  11. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
  12. Gently stir in 1/2 lb (225g) hulled and quartered fresh strawberries. Cook just until heated through – they should remain firm.
  13. Serve the warm strawberry sauce immediately over a generous scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream.
