Honey Custard with Berries

If you don't have white balsamic vinegar, substitute Champagne vinegar or apple cider vinegar. I used the apple cider vinegar option and it was wonderful. 
  • Makes 8 to 10 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc use something good tasting you will taste this in the final product)
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 6 to 8 cups mixed fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries)
  • Garnish: fresh mint

Preparation

1. Beat cream in a medium bowl at medium-high speed with an electric
mixer until soft peaks form. Cover and chill until ready to use.

2. Whisk together egg yolks, honey, wine, and balsamic vinegar in top
of a double boiler. Bring water in bottom pan to a light boil. Cook egg
yolk mixture, whisking constantly, 8 to 10 minutes or until thick and foamy.

3. Remove from heat. Fill a large bowl with ice. Place top of double boiler
containing egg yolk mixture in ice, and whisk 5 minutes or until completely
cool. Remove from ice bath, and fold in whipped cream. If desired, cover
and chill up to 24 hours. Spoon berries into bowls, and serve with custard.
