Along the Alameda Principal in Málaga, there is a bar called Antigua Casa de Guardia that has been open for 150 years. It is lined with huge old casks filled with a wonderful selection of Málaga wines. One of these is moscatel, a sweet but complex wine made from the moscatel grape. We marinate strawberries in this amber nectar, and serve them with “mantecados”, Moorish cinnamon sandcakes.

Serves 8
strawberries 800g, washed, drained and stalks removed
moscatel Málaga wine 560ml or moscatel sherry
icing sugar 1 dsp
