Easy but a little bit fancy way to served sliced strawberries and blueberries, or whatever berry mix you have on hand! Off-season fruit can be a little tart, so I perk it up with something like this. This was the first time I thought to add the vanilla, and I really liked it! Read more Don't worry about exact measurements - adjust to your taste. A lot depends on the sweetness or the fruit you are using. :) See less
Ingredients
- 16 oz. strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced shopping list
- 1 dry pint blueberries (about 1 1/2 cups) shopping list
- Zest of one orange (1 Tbsp or so) shopping list
- juice of one orange (1/4 cup or so) shopping list
- 1 Tbsp sugar (or honey, whisked in with the orange juice) shopping list
- 1 vanilla bean pod, split and scraped shopping list
How to make it
- Combine berries, zest and juice in a bowl
- Sprinkle with sugar; scrape the "seeds" from inside the vanilla pod and add to fruit. Toss fruit with liquid mixture.
- Cover and let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until fruit releases some juice.
- I like to add the scraped-out pods to my current brew of homemade vanilla, or to a container of sugar (to make vanilla sugar, for future use!)
