Strawberry Balsamic Dressing: Dissolve the Jam in Vinegar First
Cooking for yourself? This dressing combines strawberry jam with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. It differs from recipes made by blending fresh strawberries. Dissolving any lumps of jam in the vinegar first and adding the oil in portions can help a small quantity mix evenly.
Before cooking for one
Cooking just for yourself? Start with these amounts from the recipe's one-serving column. Check the full ingredient list below for the remaining ingredients and seasonings.
- Balsamic vinegar: 0.5 household eating spoon
- Olive oil: 0.75 household eating spoon
- Strawberry jam: 0.25 household eating spoon
Follow the recipe's preparation and cooking steps after measuring; package size is not the amount to use.
Strawberry jams vary in the size of their fruit pieces and in sweetness. First measure out 1/4 household eating spoon of jam, as listed in the ingredients, and try mixing it with the vinegar. Fruit pieces remaining in the dressing are different from an intact lump of jam. Balsamic here means vinegar; do not replace it with an already sweetened, concentrated glaze.
Ingredients for 1 batch of sauce
- Balsamic vinegar: 1/2 household eating spoon
- Olive oil: 3/4 household eating spoon
- Strawberry jam: 1/4 household eating spoon
This is based on the ingredients list for 1 serving in the app. Household eating spoons and pinches are informal measures and have not been converted to exact grams or milliliters. Check the package sizes and cup capacities in parentheses, too.
How to Make It
- Step 1. Measure out the listed amounts of each ingredient.
- Step 2. Put the ingredients in a small condiment dish or cup. If using oil, add it last in two portions, stirring 20 times each time you add it. Mix until the color is even throughout.
- Step 3. Start by serving half of the finished sauce on the side. Taste a bite, then add more as desired. If serving several sauces, use a little of each.
Add the Oil in Two Portions at the End
Add 3/4 household eating spoon of olive oil in two portions, stirring about 20 times each time. Scrape jam from the sides of the dish and mix it in, too. The dark red-brown color can make it hard to see whether the mixture is combined, so check for sticky areas on the bottom. If it separates into layers before serving, stir it again.
Serve a Little at a Time with a Fruit Salad
Try serving it a little at a time with a separately prepared leafy green or fruit salad. If the food is sweet, too, do not add all the sauce at once. It may change the color of light-colored ingredients, so try it on a small area first. The sweetening ingredient differs from that in honey balsamic; this recipe does not combine the two.
