• 3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, cut into chiffonade

Step 1

Reduce the vinegar to half over low flame and set aside to cool to room temperature. Be careful as the vinegar may burn quickly if reduced in a wide pan.

Serve over vanilla ice cream.

Can be tossed with spinach and arugula and topped with pistachios and shaved proscuitto for an excellent salad.
