Anyone can make this in a flash. You need two ingredients and the best aged balsamic vinegar you can find. I like aged balsamic vinegar that's at least 12 years old. Yes, aged balsamic vinegar is expensive but a little goes a long long way. Where can you find great aged balsamic in Boston? The North End of course! Salumeria Italiana on 151 Richmond Street, Boston, MA 02109 is a small but fantastic authentic Italian grocer. You can also purchase it online.
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream with Raspberries and aged balsamic vinegar for two:
1/3 cup of raspberries or sliced strawberries
1 cup of super premium vanilla bean ice cream
2 tablespoons of aged balsamic vinegar (I use Fattoria Estense. Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, 12 years old).
Directions: Scoop vanilla bean ice cream into your favorite ice cream dish. Arrange raspberries or sliced strawberries on top. Drizzle aged balsamic vinegar on top. Eat. Savor. Molto Bene.

You know, Adam has been saying we should buy some good balsamic vinegar for years now, instead of the cheapie Trader Joe's stuff. After reading this recipe, I think a trip down to Hanover St. might be in our near future...yum! (I love this blog.)
Thanks Kate,
It's a fun ingredient. We should all go to Hanover St. with the group soon and get some pastries too. :-)
I want to eat this ice cream.
