Ingredients
- Macerated Strawberries, recipe follows
- 16 slices stale potato bread
- 1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
- 1 pint medium size strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 (325 milliliters) bottle red wine
- 1/8 cup orange blossom honey
- 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Remove both ends from 4 (15-ounce) soup cans. Save 4 of the ends. Using one of the soup cans with the ends removed, cut the potato bread into 16 rounds. To avoid torn bread press straight down, do not twist. Let bread sit for 2 hours to dry out.
- Butter 1 side of 4 of the bread rounds.
- Place the soup cans on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the buttered bread round, buttered-side up, in each can. Spoon 2 tablespoons of strawberries with liquid to cover over each round. Dredge 1 side of 4 bread rounds in the strawberry liquid and place over the strawberries. Repeat layering strawberries and dredged bread rounds until you have 3 layers of strawberries and 4 layers of bread.
- Place reserved ends of soup cans on top of final round and weight with cans of soda. Refrigerate for 8 hours. Remove cans and serve with whipped cream.
- In a bowl combine all ingredients. Let stand in refrigerator for 2 hours.

Reviews
We thought this recipe was wonderful. We used gluten free homemade bread in our preparation of this recipe so everyone could eat it. We also marinated the strawberries in the Merlot wine overnite and the taste of the Merlot was not at all evident as we noticed some reviews had mentioned. We watch every episode of the Good Eats Series and have tried many of the recipes. We haven’t tried one yet we didn’t love. We hope Good Eats continues on a regular basis for a long time. Thanks!
i used strawberry bread instead of potato bread and it was DELICIOUS!!!
I made this dish and it wasn’t of medium difficulty. It was very good and most impressive. I even tried this dish with blueberries and it also worked very well. I like this recipe very much and I truly enjoy Alton’s show.
Enjoy!
