This is a recipe I put in the last pages of a cookbook I wrote eight(!) years ago. You’d probably miss it if you skipped the little recipes that often end up in the “other” or “side dishes” section of many cookbooks. It might seem a bit of a waste to grab a basket of the sweetest most fragrant strawberries of the season and roast them. But this is an alternative I love. There are few things better when spread on a crusty butter cookie or a piece of toast. Or spooned over your favorite yogurt. A little bit of special magic. When it comes to roasting these strawberries you’ll know you’re on the right track when the juices from the roasted berries seep onto the baking sheet and combine with the maple syrup to form a thick and sticky just-sweet-enough syrup. At the same time the flavor of the berries cooks down and concentrates. The port adds a surprising hint of alcohol and the balsamic adds a dark base note. The recipe can be doubled or tripled but make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet.
