Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar

This is a unique, gourmet way to serve this fantastic summer fruit! The balsamic vinegar brings out the berries' beautiful colour and truly enhances their flavour. Great served with a simple pound cake, over vanilla ice cream, or simply by themselves.

PREP TIME: 10 Min
READY IN: 1 Hr 10 Min

INGREDIENTS
450 grams fresh strawberries, hulled and large berries cut in half
30 ml balsamic vinegar
50 grams white sugar
0.5 grams freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS
Place the strawberries in a bowl and drizzle with the Balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with sugar and stir gently to combine. Cover and let them sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour (but not more than 4 hours). Just before serving, grind the pepper over the berries and serve with a large glass of Champagne.

Try serving with a large dollop of ice-cream or lemon mascarpone - delicious!
