Strawberries Balsamico




Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

3 Tbsps of  balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp of white sugar
1/4 tsp of fresh lemon juice
3 cups of strawberries
2 Tbsps of light brown sugar
ground black pepper to taste *(optional)
 Whip cream for topping *(optional)


Directions: 

Bring the balsamic vinegar, white sugar and lemon juice to a simmer in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the syrup is reduced by half, almost 2 - 3 minutes.
Transfer the syrup to a small bowl and cool completely. Wash, hull and cut the strawberries lengthwise into 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) slices.
Lightly toss the berries and brown sugar together in a large bowl and let stand until the sugar dissolves and the berries release some juice about 10 - 15 minutes. 
Pour the vinegar over the berries, add pepper ( if you choose) to taste and toss to combine. Divide the berries among 3 or 4  bowls or goblets and serve immediately with whipped cream topping if you choose..
