Those long hot wonderful days of summer make me seek cool, soothing light desserts. This parfait is the answer.

Yield: Serves 6

INGREDIENTS

3 cups (750 mL) prepared fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and even sweet cherries
1 tbsp (15 mL) balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp (15 mL) brown or maple sugar
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) yogurt, plain or fruit-flavored

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine prepared fruit, vinegar and sugar. Let stand for 30 minutes to release juices.

2. Spoon fruit mixture into a shallow serving dish. Top with yogurt. Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving.

Notes

Serving Suggestion:

Sprinkle fresh mint leaves, toasted coconut or slivered toasted almonds over the yogurt before serving. Orange or lemon zest adds a nice citrus flavor to the fruit. For single servings, layer fruit and yogurt in parfait glasses.
