Strawberries Never Tasted So Good!
A foil packet of deliciousness – these roasted strawberries with balsamic vinegar are so incredibly easy to make. Just the right summer WOW dessert!
Fresh, in season strawberries are so sweet and delightful, and I put them in desserts all the time, but when I first made this – oh my goodness!! SOOO delish!
Make these in an oven like the recipe suggests, or if you are a camper, BE BRAVE and place the foil packets in the embers of a dying bonfire or on a grate over the grill for 15-25 minutes, turning occasionally until the strawberries are softened and juicy
I love to just open up the warm foil packet and top it with a dollop of good vanilla bean ice-cream, or a drizzle of heavy cream, but certainly try it poured over pound cake, French toast or waffles.
The perfect summer dessert!
Roasted Strawberry Dessert
Ingredients
(* indicates my preferred ingredients – see notes for alternatives)
1½ lbs strawberries (1 quart)
1 tablespoon O&V Aged Balsamic such as Bronze Balsamic *
1 teaspoon O&V Melipone Vanilla *
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 375F. Hull the strawberries. Create a double layered foil packet large enough to hold all the strawberries.
In a bowl, toss the hulled strawberries with the balsamic, vanilla and brown sugar. Pour into the foil packet and crimp the foil closed all along the open edges closing all edges securely so that the juices don’t spill out of the packet.
Place foil packet on a baking tray and in the oven. Roast for 25-30 minutes until the strawberries are softened and swimming in syrup.
Remove the foil packet to a plate and carefully open.
Serve as is, drizzled with some heavy cream or topped with vanilla bean ice cream. Alternatively, serve warm over pound cake, waffles, pancakes or French toast.

Notes
* A nice slightly balanced, sweet and tart Aged Balsamic is perfect for this recipe. There is no substituting the intense aroma and flavor of the Melipone Mexican Vanilla.
