BALSAMIC STRAWBERRY COMPOTE
If you haven’t tried strawberries with balsamic vinegar before, you may be surprised by how well the combination works. Balsamic magically draws out the strawberries’ sweetness, without overpowering the berries’ natural flavour. Use this easy compote as a topper for vanilla ice cream.
Yield: Makes 3 cups.
