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.
