Introduction

This is a delicious strawberry sauce that will make your guests forget about chocolate. It goes down very smoothly and all of a sudden the pepper kicks in and "Wow!", everything wakes up. I tried it one night and liked it so much I went back the next night just for the sauce. Chef Jaya Loyola was kind enough to share it with me.

Place the cut strawberries in a saucepan, cover with sugar and let sit until they begin to "juice". Add the Cointreau and set over a very low flame and add pepper.

Cook until it reduces down to a sauce consistency, but where the bulk of the strawberries are intact. You may want to add more Cointreau or a little water - it's a matter of taste.

Serve over really good vanilla ice cream - it's worth going for the good stuff.
