There were boxes and boxes of dark red strawberries at Costco today and I just couldn't resist. So we had Balsamic Strawberries for Dessert and I thought I'd share the recipe cause it's kinda interesting.
Balsamic Strawberries with Marscapone
1 lb fresh, hulled strawberries ( I quartered mine but if they'rre small you could serve them whole)
2 Tbs good Balsamic vinegar
black pepper
1 tsp of sugar (only if your strawberries aren't quite sweet enough)
1 c marscapone cheese (can be subbed with cream cheese beaten with a touch of honey & thinned with a 1-2 tsp water)
Wash & strain strawberries. Drizzle vinegar over them. Crack a little black pepper over them, stir and chill for a minimum of 30 minutes, but a couple hours is even better. Serve over a spoonful of cheese.

What kind of balsamic is "good" in your opinion?
Without too much foodie BS, "good" would ideally be traditional stuff (artisinally aged grape juice, really thick & expensive) but for a lot less you can get an aged mass produced vinegar. If it's thick & has a nice dark color you'll be fine but if it's too thin or light than you won't get any good flavor. And if it's any kind of good it should be from Modena, Italy. Does that help?
