Tangy sweet balsamic sauce complements fresh strawberries atop ice cream, yogurt or pound cake for a spectacular dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, halved
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 2 cups vanilla yogurt or vanilla ice cream

Preparation

In a small saucepan, mix together the balsamic vinegar and honey. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, until the mixture has slightly thickened. Remove from heat and add the vanilla. Toss the strawberries with the balsamic glaze and stir in the mint. Once the sauce has cooled, drizzle over scoops of yogurt or ice cream in individual serving dishes.

Serving Suggestion

The tangy sweet sauce showcases fresh-picked strawberries at the height of the season. Spoon some over sliced pound cake or angel food cake for a special dessert.
