Como fazer Gourmet Balsamic Strawberries
- In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 pint of fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced), 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon caster sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.
- **Alternative Balsamic Glaze (for a richer flavor):** In a small saucepan, combine 5 tablespoons caster sugar, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of water.
- Cook over low-medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reduces by half to a thick, sticky syrup (about 10-15 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Pour the balsamic glaze over the marinated strawberries and gently toss to coat.
- **Serving Suggestions:** Enjoy as is, or serve over pancakes or crepes with vanilla ice cream. For a sophisticated presentation, layer in a martini glass with vanilla crème fraîche or yogurt, garnished with freshly cracked black pepper and pistachios or toasted almond flakes and a basil or mint leaf. Alternatively, top a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a piece of chocolate fudge with these balsamic strawberries and a dollop of cream.
