Author Notes: This recipe by Loretta McPhail of Duncan, Oklahoma was a finalist in the 1997 California Strawberry Festival's Berry Off cooking contest.  Nippy Pickled Strawberries make a great breakfast addition. They're also wonderful served with smoked turkey, fish and/or cream cheese.
Ingredients: 1 quart of fresh strawberries, cleaned
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 cup oranges, peeled, with seeds and ends removed and cut in rounds
2/3 cup jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped
1 1/4 cups champagne or other dry white wine or sake
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 cinnamon sticks, broken into pieces
4 whole cloves
Instructions: Serves 10-12

Place strawberries, raisins, oranges, and jalapeñs in that order, in a large flat container with a lid.

In a 3 quart non reactive pot bring wine, sugar, salt, cayenne, cinnamon and cloves to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Pour hot syrup over fruit. Gently push fruit into syrup. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Gently lift fruit, 2 or 3 at a time to mix.
