Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar Recipe - Fragole all'Aceto Balsamico

By Kyle Phillips, About.com

Strawberries with balsamic vinegar is a fairly new-fangled recipe that one also sees in adds for commercial balsamic vinegar, with the man in the voiceover sounding surprised as the woman drizzles the balsamico. It's actually fairly obvious, though it will be much better if you use the traditional artisan-made balsamico and use a nebulizer to spray it over the berries. Given the cost of true aceto balsamico it's a dessert for a special occasion, but life is made for occasions of this kind too. To serve 4 you'll need:

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (450 g) excellent strawberries, hulled
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and (ideally) a nebulizer with which to apply it
  • 3 tablespoons cane sugar

Preparation:

If the strawberries are large, halve or quarter them. Put them in a bowl, spray the vinegar over them, and gently them; let them rest for 15 minutes, turning them again twice. Sprinkle the cane sugar over them, gently stir again, and serve at once.

Yield: 4 servings strawberries with balsamic vinegar.
