Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar and Black Pepper
Source: Samcooks.com
It may sound weird, but the piquancy of balsamic vinegar and freshly ground pepper adds a marvelous counterpoint to the sweet berries.
1 quart strawberries, washed and hulled
3 to 4 tablespoons cane or brown sugar, depending on the sweetness of the berries
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1) Halve strawberries if large. Cut in thirds or quarters if very large. Put in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Toss and set aside for 30 minutes.
2) Sprinkle vinegar and pepper on berries and toss again.
