Saba Strawberries and "Cream"

By:  Maria

Nothing is as refreshing as a berry dessert. This one can be made with any berry, but my favorite are strawberries. The secret ingredient, and one that is key to this delectable dessert, is a product called Saba Mitica. Before there was balsamic vinegar, there was Saba. Saba is a grape must reduction, made by cooking grapes and reducing them down to 50%. In the ancient times, Saba was used as a sweetener. These days, Saba is completely versatile and used for salad dressings or even marinades for roasts. However, this one deserves to be used for something tastier - dessert!

Ingredients

Strawberries

Coconut milk

Saba (grape must reduction)**

Cinnamon
Nuts of choice (optional)

Rinse and slice strawberries; place in individual sized bowls. Pour desired amount of coconut milk over strawberries, drizzle with some Saba and sprinkle with some cinnamon and nuts (optional).

**You can purchase Saba Mitica at Caputo's Deli in Salt Lake.
