Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 60 ml balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 pieces fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them in halves or quarters, depending on their size. Place the strawberries in a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Allow the balsamic mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and turns into a glaze. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the balsamic glaze cool for 2-3 minutes before pouring it over the strawberries. Gently toss the strawberries in the glaze to ensure they are evenly coated.
Transfer the glazed strawberries to serving bowls or plates and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately or allow the strawberries to marinate in the glaze for up to 30 minutes before serving for a deeper flavor.
