Recipe Courtesy of LFRAME29 on allrecipes.com

I had vanilla ice cream, and I had a bunch of strawberries. I didn't want just plain strawberries on my plain vanilla ice cream, so I found a recipe to spice them up! Serve these warm fresh spiced strawberries over your favorite ice cream and you'll surely be pleased.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 pints strawberries, cleaned, hulled and sliced

Directions:

1. In a saucepan, stir together the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes syrupy. Mix in the nutmeg and cinnamon, and remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then pour over sliced strawberries.
