We'd gotten a plethora of strawberries recently, and we'd been eating them straight out of the containers. While we have no complaints eating fresh, sweet strawberries, variety's nice too! Thinking back, I remembered the Pears with Toasted Walnuts. Then, as the cosmic forces aligned, I saw this recipe from Honey & Jam. With this cosmic alignment, I just had to feature the Honey Balsamic Strawberry Galette on Five Friday Finds.

I deviated a bit from the initial recipe by replacing a bit of the flour with some finely ground corn meal since I wanted a crust with a bit of bite. I also only used half the amount of butter. I like butter as much as the next guy, but I found a whole cup of butter just too much for this crust. You could also use a store bought crust or a standard butter pie crust. Overall, we really liked this Balsamic Strawberry Galette, and if I made it again, I'd increase the amount of Balsamic vinegar or make a Balsamic vinegar reduction like I did for the Pears with Toasted Walnuts. However, I really like Balsamic Vinegar, so you might find this amount perfect. :)

What's your favorite way to eat strawberries?

  6. We wanted (or rather, I wanted) a crust with a bit of bite instead of your usual pie crust, so I decided to throw some corn meal in there and see what happened! Let's be "plethora" friends. :)
