BALSAMIC STRAWBERRIES

                           

I discovered how delicious balsamic vinegar was only 2 years ago, but I have been making up for lost time ever since.  I put it in everything I can.  So when I heard about someone putting it in strawberries, I couldn’t resist trying my hand at a recipe.  I think you will really enjoy the combination of savory and sweet the next time you want to have a strawberry dessert.  It is a great substitute for the regular sweet strawberries that you use in strawberry shortcake (or you can layer them with the sweet ones).  They are also wonderful served with a dollop of homemade vanilla ice cream (posted on March 26th)  or offered alongside yummy, melting Camembert cheese.    Try it---you’ll like it!! 
PS.  Let me know of other ways you enjoy balsamic vinegar.

¼ cup regular or superfine sugar
2 to 3   T.  Balsamic vinegar
