There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Untested - Strawberries in Wine

On Laura's show where she talks about Strawberries in Orange Juice, she also mentions that fresh strawberries can be macerated in red wine. This interests me. And what would happen if I used a white wine, could it work? Inquiring minds want to know!
The first thing to establish with either type of wine is the measurement of sugar to balance the acidity of the wine and strawberries.


2 pounds strawberries
Sugar
1 cup of wine (red? White?)
  1. Stem the strawberries and put them in a serving bowl. Sprinkle with sugar and pour over the juice. Cover and leave to macerate several hours or overnight before serving.
