Strawberry Preserves With Black Pepper and Balsamic Vinegar

Recipe #299881 | 30 min | 10 min prep | 2 cups (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: cookiedog

Use fresh strawberries, only freshly cracked black pepper, and the best balsamic you can afford. I actually prefer it with just the balsamic and strawberries. Recipe is from Gourmet.

    Very nice. I had a lot of strawberries in my fridge and decided to use them in this. The first batch I made following directions exactly, but I had a hard time skimming the foam with the chunks of strawberries in it, so I made a second (doubled) batch, using less pepper and running the strawberries through the food processor first to smooth it out. It's cooling right now but seems to have turned out even better than the first batch. Delicious on toasted Italian bread!
