Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, honey or sugar, and vanilla extract if using. Whisk until smooth.
- Add strawberries and gently toss to coat evenly. Let sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and strawberries to release their juices.
- Serve as is, or spoon over vanilla ice cream, yogurt, or shortcake. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use aged balsamic vinegar.
- These can also be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though they will become softer over time.
