Ingredients
- 250g Strawberries, hulled
- 2-3 tbsp vanilla sugar, depending on the sweetness of the strawberries
- dash Balsamic vinegar
- 1 bottle champagne, or prosecco
Method
1. Put the strawberries into a large bowl, sprinkle with the vanilla sugar and leave for a few minutes - this makes them go a lovely glossy colour and will bring out their fabulous flavour.2. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar then mash them up with a potato masher until you have a chunky puree.
3. Pass the mixture through a sieve, then spoon into champagne glasses so it comes about 3cm up the sides. Top up with champagne, give it a little mix and serve.
Chef’s tip: to make vanilla sugar, blend 500g of caster sugar with 3 whole vanilla pods in a food processor then sieve the sugar to get rid of any large bits. This will keep well in a jar for a few months.
