Tips:
- Use ripe, seasonal fruits. This will ensure that your fruits are at their peak flavor and will caramelize beautifully in the balsamic glaze.
- Choose a variety of fruits. This will add visual interest and flavor to your dish. Some good options include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, and plums.
- Make sure the fruits are evenly coated in the balsamic glaze. This will help them to caramelize evenly.
- Cook the fruits over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Stir the fruits frequently. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and will also help them to caramelize evenly.
- Remove the fruits from the heat when they are tender but still hold their shape. You don't want to overcook them or they will become mushy.
- Serve the fruits warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or used as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, or pancakes. You can also add them to salads or use them as a filling for tarts or pies.
