This was our surprise dessert after dinner yesterday. I saw organic berries on sale and couldn’t resist buying them. I sliced the strawberries and mixed them with raspberries and lemon thyme in my little pot. I let them chill as they infused the lemon fragrance in the fridge for an hour because my husband just loves cold fruit. I simmered 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar, 2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar and a small pinch of salt together (I’ve seen Giada de Laurentis make this kind of sweet balsamic many times. It tastes great!). Let it reduce to half and cool completely.  After the meal I assembled the mixed berries in small bowls and topped them with the balsamic syrup that I’ve just made. I added 1 scoop of ice cream on top. A yummy surprise because it looked like chocolate fudge. This treat is very refreshing and good for summer desserts even though it was raining throughout the week.
