Balsamic-Roasted Strawberries with Pistachios and Honeyed Mascarpone
Roasted strawberries soften a little as their natural sugars caramelize, creating a flavor that is matched well by our balsamic, whose flavor also intensifies as it reduces in the oven. A scoop of honeyed mascarpone served with a spoonful of these balsamic-roasted strawberries makes for a lovely, easy dessert. Serves about 4 to 6.
