Strawberries and balsamic vinegar

[Intrepidtrier]

Does anyone know or have a  recipe for balsamic vinegar with strawberries. How would  you go about combining them?? I have also bought some balsamic glaze that I thought I could use with them. I am having a mental block at the moment. Thanks everyone. Sandy

Hi Sandy - I've just googled "strawberries and balsamic vinegar" and came up with a page full of sites and recipes.  Try this to see if any appeal to you!  Good luck!

Intrepidtrier I just cut up strawbs, drizzle over a little raw sugar and balsamic glaze (the thick balsamic vinegar that comes in a small bottle), stir gently, leave them for a couple of hours (out of the fridge - flavour is better) then serve with cream or icecream. Yum! The balsamic vinegar glaze does make the cream curdle - but is still good - just looks a bit ordinary.
I don't have measurements - just go by taste.

Thanks Nikkit and goldfish. Nikkit I did the same as you but also added some freshly ground black pepper. Tasted bloody marvelous.

I just hull and city up a punnet of strawberries. Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of balsamic over. Leave for a couple of hours or longer. Sprinkle with brown sugar and put under the grill to caramelise.  Top with ice cream or cream. Much the same as Nikkit.

Oooooo ... I must try the pepper next time. Sounds very good. I have some strawbs here, so will do it for tonight. Thanks   
Oh and the caramelising bit too, looks like I'll be off to the strawb farm for more supplies today.

Just read back through this thread - have to wonder how I "city up" strawberries..  I really meant that I cut them up.  Yes I like the idea of pepper might try that next time tool
