by AuthorLinda Watson DateMay 6, 2016 | | CommentPost a Comment | Print ArticlePrint Article | | Pin It!

A term you'll often spot at fancy restaurants is "balsamic vinegar reduction." You can make it at home with just one ingredient. Drizzle it on sliced ripe strawberries for a Mothers' Day side or dessert that's just $1.72 per serving using organic ingredients. For a sexy date-night treat, serve strawberries whole with balsamic reduction for dipping.

Strawberry-Banana Sorbet with Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar

by AuthorLinda Watson DateJun 5, 2014 | | CommentPost a Comment | Print ArticlePrint Article | | Pin It!

Turn fresh fruit into creamy sorbet in minutes. Ripe strawberries make it luscious, bananas make it creamy. Add a teaspoon of chocolate balsamic vinegar to create a restaurant-quality splurge for about nine cents more a serving. To drop the dairy from the Wildly Affordable Organic spring menus, make this sorbet with or without vinegar instead of strawberry ice cream.
