- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup strawberry wine or liqueur
In a medium-sized saucepan, mix all of the ingredients together and cook, covered, over low heat until thickened, at least 3 hours, stirring occasionally. If you wish, you can mash the berries with a spoon.
This can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks. It's great as a dessert topping, with grilled chicken or with the baked ham recipe above.
