Balsamic Strawberries Recipes

Steps:

• Hull the strawberries and cut them into quarters lengthwise.
• Place in a bowl and toss with the vinegar and sugar.
• Cover and allow to rest on the counter for about an hour so that the berries will "juice" then chill in the fridge for another hour.
• Toss again before serving.
• (I like a little more vinegar sprinkled on before serving but do this to your own taste.
• I should mention that these strawberries do not keep well so they should be prepared and eaten the same day. If made more than a few hours ahead of time they are mushy and texturally unappealing. Just thought I should mention that.

Steps:

• Boil 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar with 2 tablespoons honey, 1 bay leaf and a pinch of salt until thick, 4 minutes. Discard the bay leaf; let the syrup cool.

Serve with the mascarpone mixture and the remaining syrup.

• To unmold the pops, run hot water over the outsides of the molds for a few seconds, then gently pull the sticks.
