Strawberries With Balsamic Vinegar

I love this recipe! It is from the "Frugal Gourmet Whole Family Cookbook" by Jeff Smith. I've made this simple recipe for many years. People are always impressed but... I never tell them how easy it is to make. Some recipes are best kept secret. But I will share this one...

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Hull the strawberries and cut them into quarters lengthwise.
  2. 2
    Place in a bowl and toss with the vinegar and sugar.
  3. 3
    Cover and allow to rest on the counter for about an hour so that the berries will "juice" then chill in the fridge for another hour.
  4. 4
    Toss again before serving.
  5. 5
    (I like a little more vinegar sprinkled on before serving but do this to your own taste.
  6. 6
    I should mention that these strawberries do not keep well so they should be prepared and eaten the same day. If made more than a few hours ahead of time they are mushy and texturally unappealing. Just thought I should mention that.

    this was amazing! I just lately began to start using different vinegars and I thought that this sounded great and it is! I used a little less sugar and a little more vinegar. I also ate it with a little wheat chex cereal for a healthy snack. LOVE IT! THANKS! Linzi
