Sweet Marsala Wine Sauce

By barbyrabaker

A versatile dessert sauce that is simutaneously sweet and tart

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups sweet Marsala wine
• 1/4 cup sugar
• Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 pound strawberries, hulled and quartered

Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the wine, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved. Cook until the liquid has reduced by half, 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the nutmeg. Allow the sauce to cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving (can be made 3 days in advance).
