What I love about my Strawberry-Balsamic Jam is how versatile it is. Sure, you can spread it on toast or use it as a cake filling. I thought I’d do something a little different here and make a healthy-ish frozen treat to keep on hand for when I get a sweet tooth.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds very ripe strawberries, washed, stemmed and halved
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest from 1/2 lemon plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3 cups vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
- Dark chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions
- Make the jam: Combine the strawberries, sugar, vinegar and vanilla extract in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the strawberries soften and the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes. Remove the jam from the pan to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Stir in the lemon zest and juice.
- Make the bark: Spread the yogurt on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in a thin layer (about 1/3-inch thick). Dollop 1/2 cup jam over the yogurt and use a wooden skewer or tip of a knife to swirl. Sprinkle the fruit and chocolate shavings on top. Place in the freezer and freeze until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Once frozen, break into pieces.

Reviews
Wondering how thick the jam should actually be because mine was not too thick. It is in the freezer now so time will tell! I did add mini chocolate chips instead of chocolate shavings.
My daughter love watching Miss Brown! We went a little rogue and made a “blue raspberry balsamic” jam, instead of strawberry. We made it with 3 parts blueberry, and 1 part raspberry. She loves it, and it is the perfect healthy after school snack!
Easy and delicious way to get everyone to eat blueberries and strawberries. Everything is ‘good for you’ in this desert.
So easy and yummy… I used plain yogurt w/ honey and fresh strawberries/blueberries and granola sprinkled on top.
Super easy and so fun to make. I like customizing the design depending on why I’m serving it!
