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

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.
