  • Strawberries With Balsamic Glaze, Black Pepper, and Tarragon

    Strawberries With Balsamic Glaze, Black Pepper, and Tarragon

    How to Make Strawberries With Balsamic Glaze, Black Pepper, and Tarragon

    Balsamic vinegar and black pepper may seem like odd additions to strawberries, but your taste buds will be delighted! The acidity of balsamic glaze, which is just concentrated balsamic vinegar, brings out the sweetness of the strawberries, while the black pepper adds a touch of heat. These strawberries are great on their own, or use them to top vanilla yogurt. Or, serve on top of a bed of spinach as a side dish with dinner.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. In a large serving bowl, combine the strawberries and balsamic glaze. Grind the black pepper on top and gently mix. Garnish with sprigs of tarragon.
    2. * Balsamic glaze (sometimes called balsamic syrup) can be found where vinegars are sold. To make your own, heat 3 Tbsp. of balsamic vinegar in a saucepan. Bring to lightly boiling and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar is thickened and reduced to half its volume.
