Balsamic vinegar and black pepper intensify the flavor of strawberries, bringing out their sweetness. The first time you hear about using the flavors together, you may be leery of giving it a try, but tasting is believing. If you're serving picky or non-adventurous eaters, you might want to keep this secret to yourself until after they've raved about how great the strawberries taste. These berries are great with both sweet and savory dishes. Try them atop field greens with goat cheese, or serve them for dessert over ice cream or pound cake. The better the quality of the balsamic vinegar and berries you use, the better this recipe will be. The only equipment you'll need is a knife for slicing the strawberries.
