Spring is a Berrylicious Season! This is the theme for May's Cooking Light Virtual Supper Club. Myself and 5 other bloggers "meet" every month to share a Cooking Light menu. Virtually, of course, since we live in different parts of the U.S. and Canada. This month's theme focuses on berries. Berries can be used in many different ways. You will find berries used in a drink, appetizer, salad, main dish and dessert this month.
I wanted to make this Blueberry Crisp a la Mode but blueberries aren't in season and are very expensive in my grocery store. I guess this will have to wait for summer. Strawberries are in season right now and reasonably priced. So, I chose to make this Balsamic Strawberry Topping. Four simple ingredients and very quick to make. The sweet and tart strawberries went perfect with some frozen vanilla yogurt. I'll be using this strawberry topping in my greek vanilla yogurt as well. YUMMY!!!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 cups sliced strawberries
Preparation
- Combine the first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat; cook 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in sliced strawberries, and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes.
Serve over low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt or ice-cream.
