In case you have no idea what you would do with some of these flavors, the amazing staff at Northfield provides recipes on their website and we've shared a couple below.

These use the Strawberry Balsamic. Enjoy!

Strawberry Balsamic Basil Spritzer

• 1 ½ tablespoons Strawberry balsamic vinegar
• 750 ml Prosecco sparkling wine or Champagne or 3 cups sparkling water
• Basil Syrup: ½ cup sugar, ½ cup water, 4-5 basil stems
• 1/2 cup minced basil

To make the basil syrup, combine the sugar, water and basil stems in a small saucepan. Stirring frequently, bring the mixture to a simmer for about a minute, and then remove from heat. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and then remove stems and add minced basil. Place in a jar or other airtight container and allow to cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is best).

In a pitcher, combine the chilled basil syrup and balsamic. Add in Prosecco (or champagne or sparkling water) and stir well before pouring into glasses.

Simply Strawberry Reduction

• 1/4 cup Strawberry Red Balsamic
• 1 pint of strawberries halved
• 1/4 cup of sliced Almonds

In a small sauce pan bring balsamic to a boil.  Once it begins to boils reduce down to a simmer and let cook down to half, about 15-20 minutes stirring often.  Once reduced to half, let cool for about 15 minutes.  Drizzle over strawberries once cooled and top with sliced almonds. 

Additional Ideas for Balsamic Reductions:

These reductions are great over sliced cheeses (Gouda, Swiss, Cheddar, Mozzarella, Parmesan, etc.). I will use either the Black Cherry, Traditional or Espresso balsamic for the cheese platters. This makes for a gorgeous presentation for any entertaining. And any of the balsamic reductions (White & Red) are amazing over ice cream!
