What is better than fresh strawberries? Macerated strawberries, of course! They are soft, juicy, and so easy to make! Try these Keto Macerated Strawberries with Balsamic today.
Have you macerated fruit before? It is very similar to marinating. By soaking fruit in liquid (and usually sugar), they soften and absorb the flavors of the liquid. Balsamic vinegar is perfect for macerating strawberries. The acid makes the berries soft and juicy without the need of any additional sugar!
The great thing about macerating is that you don’t need to be too strict about the recipe. Add some blueberries. Or how about some fresh mint or basil? Like it a little spicy? Sprinkle some black pepper over your strawberries!
How to macerate strawberries the keto way!
This is what you need: quartered strawberries, balsamic vinegar, erythritol (or another sweetener), and a dash of salt. You simply mix up all the ingredients in a bowl, cover it, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes. You will notice the berries becoming softer and the juices escaping.
The longer you let it sit, the juicier your mixture will become.
Then it is time to serve! Keto Macerated Strawberries taste amazing with ice cream (like this keto vanilla ice cream!), vanilla pudding, or as a topping for your morning keto pancakes! If you like it extra fancy, try the macerated strawberries over a keto pavlova (recipe coming soon!).
It’s so easy! Time to make these juicy Keto Macerated Strawberries with Balsamic!
