Balsamic Berries with Honey Yogurt

When fresh berries are at their peak mid-summer, I can’t help but eat my weight in them. I sprinkle them onto my morning oatmeal, eat them out of hand midday, and enjoy them as a sweet yet wholesome treat after dinner. This quick recipe embraces the juicy summer fruit and transforms them into a fast and fancy dessert in a matter of minutes. You very well may already have the ingredients in your kitchen right now, which means this could be dessert tonight.

It may seem counterintuitive to toss berries in vinegar for dessert, but if you’ve ever tried this combination, you know how well it works. Balsamic vinegar, while tangy, has a natural sweetness to it. When drizzled over strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, it draws some of the natural juices and sugars out of the fruit to create a deeply flavored syrup for them to swim in.

Just like that, the berries are a perfect way to cap off a meal, but finishing them with a dollop of honey-sweetened yogurt definitely doesn’t hurt. Opt for whole-milk plain Greek yogurt for the most creamy richness.
