Nothing is as refreshing as a berry dessert. This one can be made with any berry, but my favorite are strawberries. The secret ingredient, and one that is key to this delectable dessert, is a product called Saba Mitica. Before there was balsamic vinegar, there was Saba. Saba is a grape must reduction, made by cooking grapes and reducing them down to 50%. In the ancient times, Saba was used as a sweetener. These days, Saba is completely versatile and used for salad dressings or even marinades for roasts. However, this one deserves to be used for something tastier - dessert!

Coconut milk

Looks wonderful! What brand of coconut milk do you buy?

ReplyDeleteI order Native Forest brand of coconut milk since the other brands of coconut milk contain BPA's. I get them online, but I think Whole Foods might carry the brand. I am trying to get Harmon's to carry the brand as well.
