Crepes & A Blackberry Wine Syrup

We love crepes in our home and make them often. I utilize crepes for many a preparation especially during the holiday season. From fruit filled crepes, luxurious lobster cream filled crepes to my families favorite Christmas tradition of Manicotti crepes, having this simple recipe on hand makes life so easy and quick when looking for a gourmet meal to impress our guests.

Here I have them paired with a simple and fresh strawberry and cream filling with the addition of a Blackberry Syrup. Below you will find my recipe for the syrup.. although I used Blackberry Wine here, you can make a syrup with any wine or liquid you prefer. Flavored wines make wonderful accents to savory dishes as well as desserts. Enjoy cooking with a variety of flavors, it makes your recipes unique to you!
