by Shirley Cline from San Fransisco in response
to my quest for recipes using Balsamic Vinegar.

"This
is a dish that is very popular in Italy. This
particular recipe comes from Nick Stellino's
'Family Kitchen'. My
grandmother made this a lot when I was growing
up. This should be made when strawberries are
in season".
Ingredients
3
lbs. fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
4 Tblsp. balsamic vinegar
5 Tblsp. sugar
2 Tblsp. chopped fresh mint
Method
Place
the strawberries in a large bowl, add the
remaining ingredients, stir well to incorporate
the flavors.
Marinate
for at least one hour, stirring well every
20 minutes.
Serve
over ice cream or by itself in a dessert cup.
Note:
The vinegar will extract juice from the strawberries
and this will mix with the sugar to create a
thick syrup at the bottom of the bowl. It is
very important to stir well every 20
minutes to ensure that the strawberries are
marinating uniformly.
