I went strawberry picking and needed some strawberry recipes. Found this one and made quite a few jars. It is really delicious and did use fresh cracked pepper. Would make it again and again.
Taste of Ancient Rome

Sara has done it again! With this recipe she has given us a real taste of an ancient Roman classic. During the height of the Roman Empire, a particular favorite of its citizens was fresh strawberries sprinkled with aged, mellow Balsamic Vinegar and then dusted with cracked black pepper. It may seem a bit unusual today, but with Sara's excellent recipe we can try this taste treat anew. The recipe itself is simple and the only thing you need to be sure of is the freshness of the ingredients. That includes the pepper. Do not use that pre-ground stuff in the can! Get whole pepper berries as fresh as you can and crack them yourself. Aged balsamic can be pricey but try to purchase the best you can. This attention to detail can be sure you make the best preserves you've ever tasted!
