Sweet Berry Bruschetta image

I've made this sweet berry bruschetta recipe by toasting the bread on a grill at cookouts, but any way I serve it, I never have any leftovers. The bruschetta is sweet instead of savory as is often expected, and visitors enjoy that change. -Patricia Nieh, Portola Valley, California

I love fresh strawberries, and I try to enjoy as many as possible during the season. Because so many strawberry recipes are quite sweet, I wanted to start the meal with something savory, so I came up with strawberries, cheese and good bread. -Mary Leverette, Columbia, South Carolina

BASICALLY THE BEST BRUSCHETTA EVER



Basically the Best Bruschetta Ever image

I've enjoyed bruschetta in the past, but it always seemed to be lacking some zip so I started experimenting. Now, I have a bunch of people asking me to can it and give them some! Hope you enjoy as much as the rest of them!

Time 2h30m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs plum tomatoes, quartered,seeded,and minced fairly fine. (so they stay on the garlic bread really well!)
1 medium vidalia onion, minced very fine
3 cloves elephant garlic or 4 cloves regular garlic, minced very fine
chives or garlic sprouts, snipped fine to taste
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup balsamic vinegar, to taste (as we like it quite tart)
4 tablespoons basil, to taste
2 tablespoons oregano
black pepper

Steps:

  • combine all ingredients above and refrigerate for several hours, check for taste and season accordingly.
  • (If you find it to vinegary for your taste simply add some sugar and olive oil).
  • Serve on garlic bread with some parm cheese (the fresh, block kind you grate your self) or bake on the bread with a little feta or assagio cheese for a change of pace.
  • Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful berries: The quality of your berries will greatly impact the taste of your bruschetta. Look for berries that are plump, brightly colored, and free of blemishes.
  • Macerate the berries: Macerating the berries in sugar and lemon juice helps to draw out their natural juices and flavors. This simple step will make your bruschetta even more delicious.
  • Use a good quality bread: The bread is the foundation of your bruschetta, so it's important to use a good quality loaf. Look for a bread that is sturdy enough to hold up to the toppings, but still soft and flavorful.
  • Don't overload the bruschetta: It's tempting to pile on the toppings, but it's important to resist the urge. Too many toppings will make the bruschetta difficult to eat and will overwhelm the flavors of the berries.
  • Serve the bruschetta immediately: Bruschetta is best served immediately after it's made. The bread will start to get soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Very berry bruschetta is a delicious and refreshing appetizer or snack that is perfect for summer. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this dish is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give very berry bruschetta a try. You won't be disappointed!
