Reviews
I prepared this for picky eaters. Everyone loved it! Will make again and again.
This is a fabulous summer treat to make when you have picky guests. It’s a hit with everyone.
My friends are pretty adventurous, so we just tried the strawberries with the wonderful balsamic mixture: yum, yum! I’ve had strawberries with fresh pepper and this was just as much a pleasant surprise!
Tried it and there was nothing left after my family got through it.
I was a little hesitant about putting Balsamic vineagar on beautiful strawberries as well as basil (which is my most used spice). I was really surprised at the flavor. I would have never thought it would be that delicious.
The other lemon juice one was very good. All of us, including our grandchildren loved both of them. Way to go Dave!!
