Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

More Balsamic: A festive Italian dessert - Ricotta-Mascarpone Mousse with Balsamic Strawberries

Recipe here.


Good on raspberries too, but hold the balsamic. Balsamic is just for strawberries, ramps up even the best strawberry to new heights of strawberriness.


What's Mascarpone?

Don't let Dr. Bliss catch you eating strawberries - apparently they are a no no. :>)

Sounds a bit like strawberry cheesecake...Cruel to post that recipe right before New Year's resolutions (or for those of us already doing penance for Christmas greed and gluttony...) :)

In the same vein but heavier, try this strawberry shortcake variation. My wife and I found this a couple of years ago. It has become a favorite.

Is there anything that mascarpone can't make better? Everything from polenta to desserts is improved.

Hmm...interesting.

I was just looking for a dessert to bring to a July 4th barbecue. Thanks for the tip!

I'll have to try this one next week!

Another recipe you might like...

Mix of strawberries, blackberries, blueberries
Add just enough good white balsamic vinegar (I actually use a coconut white balsamic) to coat all the berries. Add just enough sugar to sweeten slightly. Let sit in fridge for an hour.

Would be great served over the marscapone mixture above or with a whipped cream that has a dash of rum in it.
