Candy the Pecans
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Then add your chopped pecans and sugar. Toast until they begin to darken slightly then remove from heat.
- In a saucepan combine the sugar and balsamic vinegar. Place over medium heat and reduce to a syrup. This should take about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally throughout the cooking process to prevent burning. Keep in mind the glaze will thicken slightly when cooled. Pour into a container with a lid for storage while still warm.
- Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese balsamic glaze and powdered sugar until smooth. Using a spatula, gently fold in the pecans, and blue cheese crumbles. Form your cheese into a ball and place it into the refrigerator to set for an hour.
- Top with fresh strawberries and a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving. Enjoy!
