ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs fresh ripe strawberries, hulled and quartered (divided)
- 1⁄2 cup dry white wine
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 1⁄2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 whole star anise
- 1⁄2 gallon vanilla ice cream
directions
- Combine 1 lb strawberries, wine, sugar, lemon juice, orange zest, orange juice, and star anise in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, cover, and let rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Remove the star anise and transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl, and using a rubber spatula, press the puree through the strainer. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, pour the sauce into a medium size saucepan. Bring it back to the boil over medium heat. Lower the heat, and simmer until it thicken slightly - about 3 - 4 minutes. Gently stir in the remaining 1/2 lb hulled and quartered strawberries and cook just until the strawberries are heated through (about 3 minutes). They should still be firm.
- Serve the warm strawberry sauce over a generous scoop of ice cream.
