Ingredients

  • 2 cups sliced, hulled strawberries (from about 1 pound berries)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Place the strawberries and sugar in a food processor and pulse just until the mixture is finely chopped and juicy but still chunky; you don't want a smooth purée. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the balsamic vinegar and a few grinds of pepper.
