FEATURED STANDOUT

Balsamic Vinegar

Balsamic vinegar originates from Italy, specifically the regions of Modena and Reggio Emilia. It is made from cooked grape must that is aged in wooden barrels for a minimum of 12 years. The longer the aging process, the more complex and concentrated the flavor becomes. Aged balsamic vinegar has a rich, sweet, and tangy flavor with notes of fig, caramel, and dark chocolate. It also has a syrupy consistency due to the long aging process.

Powdered Sugar

Powdered sugar is made by grinding granulated sugar into a fine powder. It often contains cornstarch to prevent clumping. Powdered sugar has a sweet flavor and a smooth, powdery texture.

Strawberries

Strawberries come in many varieties, each with its own unique flavor and appearance. They are typically in season during the spring and summer months. Strawberries have a sweet and slightly tart flavor with a juicy, soft texture.

TIPS & TRICKS FOR THE BEST OVERNIGHT PICKLED STRAWBERRIES

Fresh Strawberries Only

When pickling strawberries, it is crucial to use only the freshest strawberries available. Fresh strawberries will have a vibrant red color, a firm texture, and a sweet, fragrant aroma. Avoid using strawberries that are bruised, soft, or have any signs of mold. Using fresh strawberries will ensure that the pickled strawberries have the best possible flavor, texture, and color.

Extending the Strawberry Pickling Time

While it’s ideal to consume these balsamic pickled strawberries within a day for the best flavor and texture, you can store them for longer periods. Keep in mind that the strawberries will continue to soften and absorb the pickling liquid, potentially altering their texture and taste.

Remember  Always check for signs of spoilage before consuming pickled strawberries that have been stored for an extended period. Discard them if you notice any mold, off smells, or discoloration.

Can i shorten the pickling time

Yes. due to the rigid layers on the outside of the strawberries the balsamic starts to absorb really quickly so you can have delish strawberries in about five minutes. Structural changes wont have to happen 

Do i need to boil the balsamic 

The fine sugar will dissolve in the balsamic; you do not need to bring the balsamic to a boil.  Simply whisk the sugar until lump free before pouring over the berries.
