Strawberry Balsamic with Fresh Strawberries in Puff Pastry Recipe

Strawberry Balsamic with Fresh Strawberries in Puff Pastry Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

-1 lb. container of fresh strawberries, washed, hulled and diced
-2 tablespoons of Sonoma Farm Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar
– 8 oz. of mascarpone cheese
-3 teaspoons of honey
-1 package Puff Pastry Shells baked and cooled

TECHNIQUE:

Clean berries, hull and dice and place in a medium bowl.  Add strawberry balsamic vinegar and set aside at room temperature for about an hour or longer.  Stir occasionally.  While berries are sitting bake puff pastry according to package directions.  In a small bowl mix mascarpone cheese and honey and refrigerate until ready to use.  Once shells have cooled gently remove lid and soft pastry underneath.  Fill each shell with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cheese mixture and about 3 tablespoons of the strawberries with the juices (some strawberries and juice will spill over and that is fine) and place top on at an angle and continue with the remaining cups.  Serve immediately.
