The first time I tried this, my friend brought them over to a backyard party.  When she suggested that she was bringing strawberries in balsamic vinegar, I thought “Ewww!”…but I said, “Fantastic ~ that sounds great!”.  But, they were actually amazing.  So simple.  But, oh so good.  My friend discovered them at a winery in California while on her honeymoon, so a big thanks to California and honeymoons and my friend!

4 cups strawberries, stems trimmed, quartered
1/8 cup high quality balsamic vinegar
1.5 tsp maple sugar crystals (or sweetener of choice)

Mix ingredients together.  Refrigerate.  Serve.

Enjoy!
