Skewered Strawberries
Grilled fruit is an extra special treat, and strawberries are no exception.
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, plus additional to thin if necessary* 20 medium-sized, firm strawberries 4 skewers (soak in water 20 minutes if wood) Olive oil 2 Tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
Place vinegar in a saucepan, reduce the vinegar at a gentle boil until slightly syrupy, 2-4 minutes (the vinegar will continue to thicken as is sits). Set aside.
*If using an expensive, well-aged balsamic vinegar, cut vinegar in half and only reduce a minute, or not at all.
Skewer and grill strawberries until they have slight grill marks, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and the reduced vinegar, and sprinkle with basil.
