I'm not a big fan of winter fruits, but this recipe changed my mind. The red wine maceration process really brings out their flavor, and the spices add a nice touch of warmth. I served it with a dollop of whipped cream, and it was delicious.

A bit disappointed with the results. The fruit was a bit too tart for my taste, and the sauce was a bit too thin. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
