Default Bad wine?

I followed a recipe in Wine Makers Recipe Book. The strawberry one. I did
a 5 gallon batch, but added 1 extra pound of strawberries. I waited 24
hours, pitched the yeast. Have been gently stirring daily. I always
sanitize the plastic spoon, ect. It's been almost 48 hours and the yeast
hasnt kicked in yet. No foam, SG is still 1.090. It has a funny smell to
it. Any suggestions?
