Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 2 whole Peaches
- 1 cup Pineapple
- 1 cup Blackberries
- 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Wash all fruits thoroughly. Hull the strawberries and slice them in half. Slice the peaches into thin wedges. Cut the pineapple into small bite-sized chunks.
In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow the mixture to reduce for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely. Swirl the butter in the pan to evenly coat the surface.
Add the peaches and pineapple chunks to the skillet first. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruits are slightly caramelized and softened.
Add the strawberries and blackberries to the skillet. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt over the fruits and gently toss them together. Cook for another 2 minutes, just until the softer fruits are warmed through but not mushy.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the fruit mixture. Toss gently to evenly coat the fruits in the reduction.
Transfer the balsamic-glazed fruits to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and a refreshing aroma.
Serve warm as a dessert on its own or pair with vanilla ice cream, yogurt, or angel food cake for an elevated touch.
