Notes
*If you have larger strawberries, simply slice them into bite size chunks and continue with recipe. If that is the case then increase the amounts of the other ingredients. To make a balsamic glaze:**If you don’t have a thick balsamic aged vinegar, simply put a cup of regular balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan or skillet. A skillet produces a faster result because it allows a quicker evaporation. Place over medium high heat and bring to a soft boil. Simmer until it reduces by about ¾ leaving you with about about ¼ cup of a thick glaze. You’ll know when it’s done if your spatula leaves a path when scraping it across the bottom of the pan.
