aargersi's Notes:
Expand2 cups balsamic vinegar Ask a question about this ingredient
2 tablespoons maple syrup Ask a question about this ingredient
4-5 strawberries per bowl Ask a question about this ingredient
3 mint leaves per bowl Ask a question about this ingredient
the best vanilla ice cream you can get - if you are in Texas or Louisiana, I strongly recommend Blue Bell Natural Vanilla Bean Ask a question about this ingredient
Make the reduction - simmer the balsamic over med-low heat until it has reduced to 1/2 cup - it will be nice and syrupy (is that spelled right?) this took me about a half hour. Stir in the maple syrup and put it in a pouring container of some sort. Stick it in the fridge to chill.
Ask a question about this stepFor each bowl you are serving - wash, trim and slice the berries. Cut the mint into thin ribbons. Put half the berries in the bowl, add a scoop of ice cream, sprinkle the mint over then drizzle with balsamic reduction. That's it - so easy and so good!!!
Ask a question about this stepThanks Dr Babs! We had fun but it's good to be home ... am still having no luck emailing you, might have to break security protocol :-) and just post my email address here ....
I'll write the editors and ask them to send us each other's email addresses-they know I'm not getting any emails or notifications.
