CHAMPAGNE STRAWBERRIES


Recipe
Ingredients:
1 quart strawberries, washed and stemmed
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
4 tablespoons honey
Fresh mint leaves
A bottle of chilled champagne or non-alcoholic sparkling wine
 
Directions:
1.  Heat the lime juice and the honey until the honey melts. Add 2 or 3 mint leaves. Remove from heat and steep for 5 minutes. Remove the mint.

2.  Place strawberries in a bowl. If berries are small, leave them whole. If they are large, half or quarter them. Pour the lime-honey sauce over the strawberries and toss gently to coat.  Refrigerate at least 20 minutes.

3.  Divide strawberries and the sauce into 4 to 6 dessert dishes. Pour champagne over. Garnish each with a mint leaf and serve.
