Spooned atop fresh goat cheese on crostini, these piquant preserves make a great hors d'oeuvre. They are also delicious with scones or muffins at teatime. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Ingredients:
2 cups strawberries (about 1 pint), trimmed and quartered |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
3 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper |
Directions:
1. In a small heavy saucepan bring all ingredients to a boil, stirring, and skim surface. Simmer mixture, stirring and skimming foam occasionally, 15 minutes, or until thickened and translucent. Remove pan from heat and cool preserves completely. Preserves keep, covered and chilled, 1 month.
