Ingredients

• 2 cups Strawberries
• 2 whole Peaches
• 1 cup Pineapple
• 1 cup Blackberries
• 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash all fruits thoroughly. Hull the strawberries and slice them in half. Slice the peaches into thin wedges. Cut the pineapple into small bite-sized chunks.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow the mixture to reduce for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely. Swirl the butter in the pan to evenly coat the surface.

Step 4

Add the peaches and pineapple chunks to the skillet first. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruits are slightly caramelized and softened.

Step 5

Add the strawberries and blackberries to the skillet. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt over the fruits and gently toss them together. Cook for another 2 minutes, just until the softer fruits are warmed through but not mushy.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the fruit mixture. Toss gently to evenly coat the fruits in the reduction.

Step 7

Transfer the balsamic-glazed fruits to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and a refreshing aroma.

Step 8

Serve warm as a dessert on its own or pair with vanilla ice cream, yogurt, or angel food cake for an elevated touch.
