SUPER-EASY BALSAMIC ROASTED STRAWBERRY

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 300 F. Put washed strawberries in roasting tray, making sure they are in 1 layer. Dust with sugar and then sprinkle with vinegar.
• Roll strawberries around by tipping tray from side to side, making sure that all berries are covered.
• Cover tray with a tea cloth and leave to marinate for 20 minutes.
• Put tray into center of oven and roast for 20 minutes. The strawberries will soften but keep their shape. The vinegar and sugar will start to caramelize; make sure, though, that it does not burn.
• Take roasting tray from oven, leave to cool until cold. The syrup will thicken and become very tasty. Transfer strawberries to a jar and close. Store in fridge. They will keep for several weeks.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream, and a little sprinkling of black pepper, if desired.

STRAWBERRIES WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND BLACK PEPPER

Steps:

• Halve the strawberries if the strawberries are large, and quarter them if they are very large. They should be in bite-size pieces. Put the berries in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with brown sugar. Toss and set aside for 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle the balsamic vinegar and pepper on the berries and toss again. Serve at room temperature for the fullest flavor.
• NOTE
• The amount of sugar may be adjusted, depending on the sweetness of the berries.

ROASTED STRAWBERRIES WITH BLACK PEPPER

Steps:

• Rinse the strawberries in cool water, place in a colander or strainer and shake off most of the water. Slice strawberries about 1/8-inch thick, place them in a large bowl, and sprinkle them with the sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, and up to 4 hours. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss strawberries with the black pepper, add the balsamic vinegar, and put the strawberries and all of their juices into a large saute pan or a large ovenproof dish. Roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until the juices are bubbling and the strawberries are hot but not mushy. Divide among individual dishes and serve immediately, with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

BRIE-FILLED PUFF PASTY WITH BALSAMIC AND BLACK PEPPER STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• For the strawberries: Put the balsamic vinegar and sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook until reduced by 2/3, about 30 minutes. Season with the pepper and some salt. Transfer to a small bowl and cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• For the puff pastry: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut four hearts from the puff pastry with the cookie cutter. Put 2 of the hearts on a baking sheet. Divide the Brie slices between the hearts on the baking sheet, leaving a small border.
• Mix the egg white with a splash of water and brush some around the edges of the filled hearts. Top them with the remaining 2 hearts and press the edges to seal. Brush the tops with egg wash, use a small paring knife to cut vents, and sprinkle with some coarse sea salt. Bake until puffy and golden, about 15 minutes.
• To serve: When the puff pastry comes out of oven, toss the strawberries in the balsamic mixture and serve them on the side.

STRAWBERRIES IN BALSAMIC PEPPER SYRUP

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk the honey and vinegar until well-blended. Stir in the pepper. Add the strawberries and stir gently to coat with the syrup. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature. Stir in the banana. Serve the fruit and syrup in shallow dessert bowls or stemmed goblets.

STRAWBERRY PRESERVES WITH BLACK PEPPER AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• In a small heavy saucepan bring all ingredients to a boil, stirring, and skim surface. Simmer mixture, stirring and skimming foam occasionally, 15 minutes, or until thickened and translucent. Remove pan from heat and cool preserves completely. Preserves keep, covered and chilled, 1 month.

STRAWBERRY HONEY BALSAMIC WITH BLACK PEPPER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Strawberry puree:
• Spread the strawberries out evenly on the lined sheet pan and drizzle them with the honey. Bake for 15 minutes. Stir the berries and continue baking until they just barely begin to caramelize and get a little bit of roasted color to them, about 20 minutes more. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let them sit until they're cool enough to handle. Transfer the berries to a blender along with the yummy sticky stuff on the parchment paper and puree to make a smooth sauce. Chill in the fridge until cold.
• Store the puree in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• Ice cream base:
• Combine the sugar, dry milk, and xanthan gum in a small bowl and stir well.
• Pour the corn syrup into a medium pot and stir in the whole milk. Add the sugar mixture and immediately whisk vigorously until smooth. Set the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring often and adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent a simmer, until the sugar has fully dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat.
• Add the cream and whisk until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 6 hours, or for even better texture and flavor, 24 hours. Stir the base back together if it separates during the resting time. The base can be further stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. (Just be sure to fully thaw the frozen base before using it.)
• Ice cream:
• In a bowl, combine the strawberry puree, vinegar, and black pepper with the ice cream base. Whisk as needed to get everything completely incorporated into the base. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and turn on the machine. Churn just until it has the texture of soft-serve.
• Stir the jam with a fork to loosen it. Quickly alternate spooning layers of the mixture and dollops of the jam in freezer-friendly containers.
• Cover with parchment paper, pressing it to the surface of the ice cream so it adheres, then cover with a lid. It's okay if the parchment hangs over the rim. Store it in the coldest part of your freezer (farthest from the door) until firm, at least 6 hours. It will keep for up to 3 months.
