Ingredients

2 cups strawberries, stemmed and quartered
6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup superfine sugar
Sea salt, preferably gray salt, and freshly ground black pepper
6 large Italian biscotti, broken into small pieces
4 ounces marscarpone cheese, stirred to a smooth consistency

Directions

Place the strawberries in a bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Let stand for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to completely dissolve the sugar.

Pour the marinade over the berries and gently toss to coat.

Divide the biscotti pieces into 4 bowls. Spoon the berries and some of the marinade over each and top with a dollop of marscarpone. Serve immediately.

Yummy and Easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I just made this dessert. WOW! I substituted the biscotti, which I forgot to buy, with cinnamon pita chips that I had in... the pantry. Mmmmm! I plan on making this again for friends. If you love strawberries, this is one easy dish you will love to make again and again. Read more

Sweet/Salty Flavor
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made the Strawberries because I love Balsamic Vinegar and I love Sweet and Salt together. I did not use the portion that... called for biscotti. We really enjoyed the flavor of the Strawberries.Read more

FLAVORS GREAT, INSTRUCTIONS NOT SO GREAT
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

We used local heirloom strawberries (Cavendish and Sparkle), almond biscotti, our "expensive" balsamic (better than ordinary... grade, not precious), and Splenda (not superfine sugar). The flavors were absolutely terrific together -- very sophisticated, tart/sweet, but the instructions regarding "smoothing" the mascarpone -- it wouldn't "smooth" right from the fridge, so we expect that it needs to be at room temp, but the recipe doesn't say so. We'll try again!Read more
