Wine Sauce

• ..1/2 cup ruby port
• ..1/2 cup sherry
• ..4 Tbsp lemon juice
• ..1/2 cup Curacao

• 1 pint whipping cream
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 quart vanilla ice cream
• 2 pints strawberries, washed and hulled

1. To make the wine sauce, pour the port, sherry, lemon juice and Curacao into a bowl; mix together and chill.
2. Whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form.
3. Add the sugar, and whip together for a moment. (Whipping cream always whips best when it is very cold. You may even want to chill the bowl you are using to whip it in.)
4. Using either glass dessert bowls or large wine goblets, place a large scoop of ice cream in each.
5. Top the ice cream with 1/2 cup of strawberries. (You might halve some of the strawberries if they are large.)
6. Pour 1/4 cup wine sauce over each portion, and top with the whipped cream.

Serves 6-8.
