Pickled Blueberry Burrata
This pickled blueberry burrata is a fun twist on a red, white and blue dish for the summertime! This red white and blue burrata is a hit, with the tangy blueberries, saucy tomatoes and creamy burrata cheese.If you want a festive red, white and blue snack for the summertime, try this sweet treat from "How Sweet Eats"! Of course I made my own tweaks… because its me. <3
Ingredients
- 1 Pint Blueberries Fresh
- 1/2 Cup Warm Water
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt, Course Save the fine salt for your baking. 🙂
- 3/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar Any ACV will do but my personal favorite is Braggs
- 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes Pull out any that are over or under ripe
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil The good stuff!
- 2 Cloves Garlic Minced or Roasted (if you want to be fancy)
- Maldon Salt & Fresh Pepper
- 8-16 Ounces Burrata Trader Joes has a yummy option. If you don't have Burrata, sliced Mozzarella will work as well
- 1 Baguette
- 1 handful Basil Optional but Delish!
- Balsamic Vinegar Best you have <3
Instructions
- 1. Place the blueberries in a jar or bowl. Place the water, sugar, salt and vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until the sugar and salt dissolve and the mixture comes to a boil, then turn off the heat. Pour it over the blueberries and let it sit at room temperature if you’re going to use it within an hour. Otherwise, stick it in the fridge until ready to use.
- 2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes with the garlic and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes burst and are juicy, about 10 minutes. Let the tomatoes cool slightly.
- 3. To assemble the platter, place the burrata in the center of the plate. Top with the burst tomatoes and use a slotted spoon to remove the pickled blueberries. Toss on some fresh basil and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. You can also drizzle with balsamic vinegar if you’ve like an extra punch of flavor!
- 4. Serve with fresh baguette slices (or toasted!), crackers, breadsticks – whatever you love!
