Hi all.
Did anyone see this episode of Good Eats? AB made macerated Strawberries.
The recipe is as follows:
2 pints medium size strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 (750 milliliter) bottle red wine
1/4 cup orange blossom honey
1 teaspoon finely chopped lemon zest
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup sugar
In a bowl combine all ingredients. Let stand in refrigerator for 2 hours
As you can see he never specified which wine he used. While I'm sure that any red wine can probably be used, I would imagine that the result would be different if Pinot was used instead of Cabernet instead of Shiraz instead of Beaujolais, etc. So, I was wondering if anyone here has ever made this recipe and what red wine worked best. Or, if you haven't made this recipe, what red wine you imagine would work best.
TIA, Jack
