Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

2 pint baskets strawberries, stems removed
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Rinse the strawberries in cool water, place in a strainer or colander, and shake off most of the water. Slice the strawberries about 1/8 inch thick, place them in a large bowl, and sprinkle them with the sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.

    Step 2

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Toss the strawberries with the black pepper, add the balsamic vinegar, and put the strawberries and all of their juices into a large saute pan or a large ovenproof dish. Roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until the juices are bubbling and the strawberries are hot but not mushy. Divide among individual dishes and serve immediately.
