Update and Redux: C – Forget wanting to make jams with your strawberries. Make this hassle free dish instead. I am in love with these roasted strawberries with white balsamic. I put them on top of yogurt, ice cream and eat it with bread. It’s so delicious and so much easier than making jam.
C – Strawberries are my favorite fruit.
I love when I can find a perfectly ripe strawberry. They are so indulgent. My perfect dessert is a bowl of perfectly ripe strawberries. That will make me very happy.
What makes me even happier? Roasted strawberries and ice cream.
I couldn’t believe strawberries got even better by roasting them with white balsamic vinegar. Everyone uses red balsamic vinegar. I am not really a fan of red balsamic. It’s too acidic and has a strong flavor for me. It also reminds me of eating a salad, since I use so much red balsamic vinegar in salad dressings.
A good quality white balsamic is lighter, less acidic and sweeter than red. I decided to use the white version in the recipe. The results were amazing. Once I topped the ice cream with a few strawberries and placed it in my mouth, a flavor explosion happened.
A truly blissful moment. A very loud, unexpected Mmmmm happened. Neither Jim nor I expected it to be that loud. But, it was. I was a bit embarrassed and not embarrassed at the same time.
