Perfect Pairing for Summer

As the summer heat rolls in, it's time to embrace the season's bounty with fresh fruits and light dishes. Grilled peaches are a quintessential summer treat, bringing warmth and sweetness to any meal. Pairing them with creamy burrata not only adds a luxurious texture but also creates a delightful contrast with the juicy peaches. The balsamic glaze, with its rich, tangy flavor, ties these elements together beautifully, making it a standout dish for summer gatherings or a simple weeknight treat.

This balsamic glaze is not just for peaches; it can elevate a variety of dishes. Drizzle it over salads, grilled vegetables, or even as a finishing touch on a savory meat dish. Its versatility ensures it can easily transition from a dessert topping to a savory sidekick, enhancing the flavors of whatever you choose to pair it with.

Crafting the Perfect Glaze

Creating a balsamic glaze at home is remarkably simple and requires just three ingredients: balsamic vinegar, honey, and fresh rosemary. The key is to allow the mixture to simmer gently, which encourages the flavors to meld and the liquid to thicken into a syrupy consistency. The honey adds a touch of sweetness that perfectly balances the acidity of the balsamic vinegar, resulting in a glaze that’s both rich and nuanced.

Incorporating fresh herbs like rosemary not only enhances the flavor profile but also adds an aromatic element that elevates the overall dish. This glaze can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator, making it a convenient option for impromptu gatherings or last-minute dinners. Simply warm it up before drizzling to revive its luscious texture.

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

Enjoy this glaze over your grilled peaches and burrata!

Instructions

Prepare the Balsamic Glaze

In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped rosemary and remove from heat.

Let the glaze cool slightly before drizzling over grilled peaches and burrata.

Serving Suggestions

When serving grilled peaches and burrata drizzled with balsamic glaze, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt or freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors. A few fresh basil leaves can also introduce a delightful herbal note that complements the sweetness of the peaches and the creaminess of the burrata. This simple addition can transform your dish from delicious to extraordinary.

For a complete meal, pair this dish with a light white wine or a refreshing sparkling water infused with citrus. The brightness of these beverages will complement the rich flavors of the dish, creating a harmonious dining experience that’s perfect for summer evenings.

Storage Tips

If you find yourself with leftover balsamic glaze, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. When storing, make sure the container is clean and dry to ensure the glaze maintains its quality. When you're ready to use it again, simply reheat it gently on the stove or in the microwave until it reaches your desired consistency.

If you plan to make a larger batch for future use, consider portioning it into smaller containers. This allows you to easily grab just what you need without having to reheat the entire batch. The glaze can also be used as a marinade for meats or a dressing for salads, making it a versatile staple in your kitchen.
