Strawberries & Balsamic Vinegar

by Candace Sampson

Last night I threw together a very simple dessert for my girls and their friends and then I had to slap their little hands away from eating mine. Sheesh. You’ll love this and it’s only three simple ingredients.

Strawberries & Balsamic Vinegar

1 quart strawberries, washed and sliced
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp granulated sugar

Toss strawberries with balsamic vinegar and sugar. Let sit at room temperature for at least an hour. How to serve this? Over vanilla ice cream, or with yogurt. It’s delicious with pancakes and french toast and is FABOOSH with whipped cream and shortcakes. But you know what? It’s delicious served in a bowl all on its own. It’s a strawberry symphony in your mouth. Yummy.

Pleasantville Note:There are recipes that call for up to 1/2 cup of sugar tossed with the strawberries. In my opinion, you don’t need that much. There’s already enough naturally occurring sugar in the strawberries. Feel free to adjust the sugar or balsamic vinegar quantity to your liking though.
