- 1 lb strawberries
- 1/2 c. wine (I used sparkling red grape juice instead)
- 1/2 c. almond milk
- 3 to 4 tablespoons rice flour
- 1/4 c. currants/raisins
- 2/3 c. sugar
- 7-10 threads saffron
- A few gratings of long pepper or regular pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cassia
- Pinch galingale, crushed
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon butter
Puree the strawberries with the wine; add almond milk and rice flour.
Mix and pour into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
When it is thickened, add the spices, the sugar and the currants; add vinegar
to taste.
When the mixture is cooling, stir in the butter.
I cheated and didn't add the pomegranate seeds.
