Ingredients for Balsamic Blueberries And Peaches

  • 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • 3 cups fresh blueberries
  • Peach
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste (start with 1/4 teaspoon)

How to Make Balsamic Blueberries And Peaches

  1. In a medium-heavy saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar. Add 1 cup fresh blueberries and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  2. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  3. In a large bowl, gently combine the remaining 2 cups fresh blueberries and 2 cups sliced fresh peaches.
  4. Pour the hot balsamic blueberry syrup over the peach and blueberry mixture.
  5. Season with freshly ground black pepper (start with 1/4 teaspoon and add more to taste).
  6. Gently toss to coat evenly. Add 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, if desired, to adjust sweetness.
  7. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, tossing occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with fresh mint leaves (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
