#CookOutWeek – Grilled Strawberries

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Grilled Strawberries | Jennifer Cooks

I know I'm slow to the party, but for years I've watched cooking show after cooking show combine strawberries and balsamic vinegar and tout it's greatness.  For me, I just couldn't get my mind around adding vinegar to a fruit…until now.  These grilled strawberries are truly delicious and a great ending to almost any meal, especially for a cookout.

This is really more instruction than a recipe it's so simple.  On Monday, I told you about The French Farm, which specializes in imported European gourmet foods and kitchen accessories from small, family owned businesses.

Grilled Strawberries | Jennifer CooksIn this recipe, I used their Terre Exotique Balsamic Vinegar Aged 10 Years, which is an amazing balsamic vinegar that is so smooth and rich, it doesn't even need to be reduced!  I tossed the berries with some of the balsamic vinegar and granulated sugar and grilled them for about 6 to 8 minutes, just to soften them a bit. After grilling, I plopped them all onto a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream, then drizzled a small amount of balsamic vinegar on top. 

Grilled Strawberries | Jennifer CooksWhere have I been?! Why have I been so stubborn to try this delicious concoction?! Well, now I have…and I think you should too!

Since I'm watching my carbs, I used Splenda instead of sugar and used Breyer's Carb Smart Vanilla Ice Cream and I thought it was all really good.  In fact, the smokey-sweet grilled strawberries and balsamic masked any artificial flavor of the low carb ice cream that I don't like.
