BALSAMIC GLAZE

This glaze is a must-have accompaniment to drizzle over fish, poultry, vegetables, pastas, salads, and even fruit. It can turn any dish from ordinary to extraordinary with its perfectly balanced, intense flavor of sweet and tangy. It adds a beautiful, deep pop of color to any dish to create a perfect, professional presentation. I make a large batch and have it on hand in the fridge at all times. Once you start adding this glaze to dishes you will become addicted and crave its intense flavor.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm fruits that are free of blemishes. Avoid fruits that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Use a variety of fruits for a colorful and flavorful dish. Some good options include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, nectarines, and apricots.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the fruits. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Stir the fruits frequently to prevent them from burning.
  • Reduce the balsamic glaze until it is thick and syrupy. This will help it to coat the fruits evenly.
  • Serve the balsamic glazed fruits immediately or store them in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Balsamic glazed fruits are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a summer party or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
