Ingredients:

1 quart strawberries, washed and hulled
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons or more cane or brown sugar, depending on the sweetness of the berries
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Instructions:
1. Halve strawberries if large. Cut in thirds or quarters if very large. Put in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Toss and set aside for 30 minutes.

2. Sprinkle vinegar and pepper on berries and toss again. Serve immediately.
