Balsamic Strawberries with Fresh Mint
Balsamic Strawberries – your go-to summer dessert
If you haven’t tried this flavour combination already you really must! The balsamic vinegar with fresh strawberries marry deliciously and finished with a hint of mint just lifts the flavours. I would recommend leaving these to stand for longer if you have time as the juice of the strawberries is released.
A light Summer dessert
This is a really quick and simple recipe to put together to satisfy a sweet craving. The flavour combination is different but trust me, it’s delicious! You can enjoy these strawberries many ways such as served with crème fraîche or cream. Or they can be used to decorate cakes, serve with chocolate mousse or as a filling for a sweet tart.

Strawberries & Balsamic with Mint
Ingredients
- 250g Strawberries hulled and quartered
- 1-2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 10 Mint Leaves
- Oat Crème Fraîche or Cream to serve
Instructions
- In a bowl, stir the strawberries, 1 tablespoon of balsamic, the maple syrup and a couple of twists of the pepper mill. Taste to check the acidity and if you'd like a little more vinegar add a teaspoon or two. Let this sit for 10 minutes – the longer the better as the strawberries start to release their juices.
- Finely chop your mint then serve the strawberries with either a spoon or two of dairy free crème fraîche or cream. Finish with a scattering of mint leaves and enjoy.
