Roasted Strawberries

Roasted strawberries
I have a lot of strawberries, and it's early in the season. Must be Seattle weather.

I plant a strawberry patch at every place I live. They're just so easy to grow in this part of the country, seems like a no-brainer.

We had a wet winter, and then recently, a few beautiful weeks of sunny, warm weather. So here I am, with tons of strawberries and it's only mid-June.

It's cooled down a bit in the last week, and rained as well so I wanted a treat to warm my bones a bit. My solution: roasted strawberries.

You can adjust this recipe to your liking. What you get is soft, plump berries bathing in their sweet syrup.  Use them on yogurt, ice cream, cake, or eat alone. I'm sure you'll think of more great pairings for this sweet concoction.

Roasted Strawberries

I use small to medium strawberries, but this recipe will work with any size strawberry you have on hand. To get the most flavor, I recommend slicing them in half or quarters so they are all about the same size. If you're using the strawberries for a cake, cut the strawberries into flat slices so they're easy to layer between cakes and on top.
For SCD, use honey.

      Highly recommend this! The recipe is great with or without the balsamic vinegar and turns out about the same. It just has a bit of the flavor from the vinegar.

    I have never heard of roasting strawberries! Nor any other fruit for that matter until the other day when I read an online article about roasting mangos & bananas! Yum! Anyway, I will have to keep this in mind for next spring/early summer. Strawberry season is long gone in NC!
