Brown-Sugar Balsamic Strawberry Sauce
This sweet strawberry sauce, flavored with brown sugar and balsamic, is a great way to jazz up classic vanilla ice cream.
- 2 lbs strawberries
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 tbsp balsamic glaze (see Note)
-
1-In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring strawberries and brown sugar to a boil.
2-Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat and, using a potato masher, mash berries until broken up but still chunky.
3-Let cool for 30 minutes, then stir in balsamic glaze. Serve sauce over ice cream.
Note: Balsamic glaze is available at gourmet grocers and williams-sonoma.com, or substitute 1 cup balsamic vinegar plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, boiled and reduced by half (yields 8 tablespoons).
