12 Reviews of Balsamic Blueberries and Peaches

From: Chef Kate

Ten Stars--at least!!! This is SO delicious and SO beautiful. I made this exactly as stated--the result was a bowl of glowing color--the blueberries absolutely gleamed, the peaches took on this wonderful rosy hue--glass bowls are REQUIRED for this dessert! Four of us ate this--four of us LOVED it--somehow this simple combination of 5 ingredients results in a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts--yet the individual flavor of the berries and the peaches shines through. I can see myself serving this in the future over shortcake or ice cream or frozen yogurt or sorbet, garnishing with fresh mint and perhaps cream--but this is also perfect by itself. What a winner. Lori!

    This recipe was recommended by Starrynews. I served it atop Praline Biscuits for a wonderful brunch item. The two recipes work wonderfully well together. Thanks for sharing!

    I served these over SF angel food cake. Substituted splenda for the sugar. Very yummy! I also used frozen peaches. Everyone raved over it and especially my Dad who is diabetic. Thanks for a new family favorite! Made for ZWT 4.

    So simple in its construction and divine in flavors, this is one you are left wondering "why didn't I think of that?" I love the sharp contrast of fruit with balsamic and often enjoy it with strawberries or oranges. I am planning to make this as an elegant dessert for a BBQ grilling the peach halves and pouring the blueberries and sauce on top. Yummy!

    Excellent way to dress up berries. I made this as one of the desserts I took to a dinner party last night. I used a raspberry infused balsamic vinegar and added some fresh strawberries. Topped it with the whipped cream from another dessert recipe that was sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with almond extract. Since I was serving this mostly to children, I skipped the pepper. Excellent dessert.

    Amazing! I love the combination of fruit and balsamic vinegar, and this is a real winner! I used a little less sugar, and it was perfect. Served it at the end of a large meal, so this actually fed 8 people for me. I added a little dollop of whipped cream on the side- excellent. Thanks for this keeper... I'll be using it a lot while blueberries are in season.

    Chef Kate is right...this is a "10 star" recipe, especially with peaches fresh from the tree and served with vanilla frozen yogurt. Ellie Krieger has a similar recipe using cherries instead of blueberries.

    I just "lifted" the blueberry portion of this recipe because I wanted a blueberry sauce to pour over a store bought cake. This was easy and oh so delish-i-ous. I am thinking, next time I will grill some peaches and pour this blueberry sauce over.
