Strawberries, Preserved in Wine

Take the fruit when perfectly ripe and fresh; pick it, and put it immediately into dry wide-mouthed bottles. Sprinkle amongst it four ounces of powdered sugar with each pound of fruit, and let the bottles be filled to the neck. Pour in good sherry or Madeira to cover the fruit. Cork the bottles securely, wax them down, and store in a cool dry place.
