What do you do with leftover cranberry sauce after the turkey is gone? Cranberry sauce…
Strawberry Balsamic Sauce – Three ways!
Two ingredients, three recipes! Strawberries plus balsamic vinegar makes a chameleon sweet-tart sauce for:
1)Refreshing no-added-sugar ‘shrub’ mocktail
2)Accompaniment for grilled chicken
3)Ice cream sundae topping.
A shrub is a beverage made with a syrup of fruit, vinegar and sugar, and takes a couple days to develop into the shrub syrup. With this strawberry balsamic sauce, there’s no sugar or stand-time needed. The grilled chicken and ice cream sundae recipes are so simple they need no explanation! Make one or more, you have three to choose from!
