I’m not usually a fruit ice cream person but there is something different about freshly roasted berries on top of vanilla ice cream. Especially in summer. It’s perfect. And the maple and sherry it’s roasted with is also perfect. Adds the nicest warm touch and rich touch to the fruit.
This whole recipe is so simple. You just cut up the fruit then toss it with a maple and sherry mix. Place in an oven-safe dish and bake. I like to hit broil for a few minutes, at the end, to thicken it all up. And that’s it, friends. Take it out of the oven. Give it a little mash to thicken it some more. Finally, add it to whatever you like. Vanilla ice cream is what I prefer but yogurt is really good too. Even a toast with some ricotta and the roasted strawberries and rhubarb with maple and sherry on top would be amazing.
