Vanilla Ice Cream with Berry Compote

I totally forgot about this box of strawberry which I purchased a weeks ago. The fruits are still fine except they are little dehydrated. I’ve just got a nice bottle of Ruby Port which is super sweet. I think they will make a perfect couple in making a fruit sauce. I got this recipe for berry compote from a magzine. Tried it, just delicious. Serve this berry sauce over pure vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt. I made this for my family gathering this weekend and it was a big hit. =)

5 cups berries, blueberries and halved strawberries

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 ruby port, or any kind of red wine

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground allspice

1. In a mdium saucepan, combine berries, sugar, wine, cinnamon and all spice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves. Boil gently for 2 minutes.

2. Remove from heat and let cool; the sauce will thicken while cooling. Refrigerate for up to 2 days, if desired. Serve at room temperature over ice cream.
