Method

In a medium pot, bring wine, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, star anise and orange peel to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium-high and boil until well reduced and syrupy, about 15 minutes; discard star anise and orange peel.

Transfer hot syrup to a large bowl with strawberries and toss to coat.

Serve immediately, or cover and chill for 8 hours or overnight.

To serve, stir remaining 1 tablespoon sugar into fromage blanc and spoon over berries.
