Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 T balsamic vinegar
1 t freshly squeezed OJ
2 t sugar
½ vanilla bean "seeds"
Small pinch of ground clove
1 T chopped Thai basil leaves
Thai basil tips for garnish
Freshly whipped sweetened cream or crème fraiche or 4 scoops good quality vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Quarter the strawberries and cut the blueberries in half (crosswise, not through the stem ends). Mix the strawberries, blueberries and whole raspberries gently together in a bowl and reserve. In a small bowl, mix together the balsamic vinegar, orange juice, sugar, clove and vanilla bean seeds. Pour over the berries. Fold in the basil carefully. Let the mixture stand to steep about 10-15 minutes. Divide the berries into chilled or frosted martini glasses. Drizzle any remaining juice over the berries. Top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream and garnish with a small sprig of basil.

I'm allergic to berries, but I was still able to enjoy this dish by using other fruits, such as peaches and apricots.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my berries turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less balsamic vinegar next time.

I'm not a big fan of basil, so I substituted mint instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover berries. I had a bunch of blueberries that were about to go bad, and this dish was the perfect way to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. The berries were too sour, and the balsamic vinegar was too overpowering.
