• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar

Ingredients for Macerated Strawberries

• 4 lbs fresh strawberries
• 1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Ingredients for Almond Scones

• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 Tbsp butter
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp almond extract

Preparation

WHIPPED CREAM: Add heavy cream, vanilla, and sugar to a mixer and beat until stiff.

STRAWBERRIES: Wash and de-stem the strawberries, then quarter them. In a large bowl combine the strawberries, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and vanilla paste and mix together well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

SCONES: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine all the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Beat eggs and cream together by hand in a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients to a food processor and slowly pulse in butter. Once incorporated, slowly add the cream mixture and almond extract and continue to pulse until a dough-like consistency is achieved. Roll out dough to about 1.5 inch thickness and cut with cookie cutter. Bake about 15 minutes.
