Balsamic Strawberries

When strawberries come into season in Plant City, Florida starting in late January our customers get to sample this amazing combination. Be sure that the strawberries are sweet and fragrant. If they are not , sweeten them up a bit with honey or sugar (1 or 2 teas).

• 2 teas. 12 Year balsamic vinegar

Marinate sliced strawberries in a non reactive container for about 15 minutes at room temperature stirring once or twice.
