Brandied Strawberry Wine

This recipe was developed for the 11th rsc contest. In the process of coming up with something totally different i ended up with this. I think the honey and brandy really accentuate the sweet strawberries and then mixed with the wine, mmmmm. I used a sweeter chardonnay but any white wine would work. The strawberry mixture should be made up ahead of time so that it can cool. Cooking time does not include cooling time. I enjoy mine with a few ice cubes. This would be perfect for brunch or valentine's day.

Steps

In a small saucepan over medium heat , combine the honey , blood orange juice , and sugar and heat until the sugar dissolves.
Add the brandy and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add strawberries and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes or until the strawberries have lost their firmness.
Remove from heat and let cool.
When the stawberry mixture is cool , place in a blender and puree for one minute or until smooth.
Add wine and stir.
Pour into wine glasses and garnish with a ripe strawberry.
