Ingredients
1 1/4 pounds strawberries, hulled and halved (about 1 quart)
5 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions
- Toss the strawberries with 2 tablespoons of the sugar and let sit for 20 minutes. The berries will begin to release some of their juices. Meanwhile, heat the vinegar in a heavy-bottomed 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced by one-third and thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar until dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool briefly.
- Whip the cream with a hand mixer to very soft peaks that barely hold their shape.
- Serve the strawberries and their juices in bowls drizzled with the balsamic syrup and topped with dollops of whipped cream.
