Vanilla Roasted Strawberries
Recipe courtesy "Gale Gand's Just A Bite" by Gale Gand and Julia Moskin: Clarkson N. Potter Publishers, 2001

Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
24 strawberries, tops cut off
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons cherry or plain balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons red wine
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Equipment:
A baking dish, about 9-inches square

Directions
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the melted butter into the baking
dish (or melt it right in the dish). Use the tip of a sharp knife to scrape the insides of the
vanilla bean into the pan. Place the strawberries (cut side down) in the pan. Sprinkle the berries

with brown sugar and lay the vanilla pod over the berries. Bake until they are slumped and feel
soft, about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes, then remove the berries from the pan and pour the
pan juices into a small skillet.

Add the vinegar and red wine to the skillet and heat the mixture to a simmer. Turn off the heat and
whisk in the cold butter. When ready to serve, place 6 strawberries on each serving plate. Drizzle
the warm sauce over and serve immediately.
