Pour the wine into a small saucepan. Add the sugar and vanilla pod. Heat slowly, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved, then increase the heat and boil for about 8 minutes until the wine has reduced by half and thickened to a syrup. Leave to cool.

Remove the vanilla pod.

Just before serving, toast the waffles according to the pack’s instructions and keep warm. Whip the cream until soft peaks form.

To serve, top the waffles with a dollop of cream, scatter the strawberries on top and pour over the wine sauce.
