STRAWBERRIES IN SPICED WINE WITH OLIVE OIL-FLAVORED ICE CREAM
Steps:
- The day before serving, candy the olives. Cut them into quarters and blanch them in a small pan of boiling water, repeating the process 2 or 3 times to de-salt them; drain. In the same pan, make a syrup of the powdered sugar and water. Add the olives, bring to a boil, and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let olives soak 24 hours.
- Several hours before serving, make the ice cream. Heat the milk with the cream and split vanilla pod.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together to obtain a frothy consistency. To yolks, gradually add the hot milk and cream, beating constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook over very low heat, continuing to stir until the mixture coats the spoon. Stir in the olive oil and let cool. Place in the freezer until firm, 2 to 3 hours.
- At least 1 hour before serving, prepare the strawberries and the syrup. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, red wine, orange zest, the halved vanilla pod, the cinnamon stick, and saffron. Bring to a boil, then pour the strawberries into the mixture.
- Bring mixture to a second boil and allow to boil briskly for 5 minutes, then let the mixture cool briefly. With a slotted spoon, remove the strawberries to a bowl. Continue boiling syrup over medium heat until it is thickened and reduced. Add the strawberries to this syrup and let cool 1 hour or more, to room temperature.
- Presentation: Into 4 well-chilled soup plates, serve the strawberry mixture in its syrup. On the side put 1 or 2 dollops of olive oil-flavored ice cream. Garnish by poking into each serving a fresh mint leaf (or a tiny sprig of olive leaves if available), a small section of vanilla bean pod, and a small piece of cinnamon stick. Sprinkle candied olives on top and serve.

SPICED STRAWBERRY SYRUP ( AND SHRUB RECIPE)
Adapted from a Saveur recipe. It is spicy, but the combination of heat and sweet fruit is ambrosial; use half the spices if you are nervous about the heat level. Save the macerated strawberries to use in smoothies, a sweet fruit salsa for topping ice cream or cake, or use it to make some jam (I put the drained pulp right back into the pan I use to cook the syrup, add a little water, Triple Sec, citrus juice, and cook it down until it's thick and sets when tested on a cold plate). Shrubs are old-time summer drinks made with vinegar, fruit juice, water, and sugar, incredibly refreshing with mild acidity and sweetness. This is NOT a canning recipe! NOTE: A shallow saucepan will evaporate more liquid, but this mixture will foam up and OVERFLOW a shallow pan when brought to a boil, so either keep right on top of it or use a deeper pan.
