A simple yet scrumptious dessert with fresh berries and balsamic vinegar.
By Laura Kasavan
Have you ever drizzled balsamic vinegar over fresh berries? The vinegar’s acidity plays beautifully against the sweetness of the berries in a perfect union of flavors. In this instance, a velvety smooth balsamic vinegar adds complexity to a berry cobbler.
You’ll want to use the buttery biscuit topping to soak up every last drop of syrupy juice. I paired strawberries with blueberries; use any blend of berries you prefer, or try a mix of berries with slices of stone fruit.

- Lightly flour hands and knead mixture 3 or 4 times in the bowl, just until dough comes together.
- Pour berry mixture into prepared baking dish; top with spoonfuls of biscuit dough.
