BALSAMIC STRAWBERRIES
Steps:
- Boil 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar with 2 tablespoons honey, 1 bay leaf and a pinch of salt until thick, 4 minutes. Discard the bay leaf; let the syrup cool. Beat 1 cup mascarpone, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla with a mixer until soft peaks form. Toss 3 pints quartered strawberries with half of the balsamic syrup. Serve with the mascarpone mixture and the remaining syrup.
BALSAMIC STRAWBERRIES
When I tell my guests that this is dessert, I often have to convince them that it really is acceptable to put vinegar on fresh berries. More than acceptable, actually, it is exquisite. Sweet-tart balsamic vinegar flavored with fruit is a perfect counterpoint to luscious, sweet strawberries. This is especially beautiful with large strawberries or with a combination of strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries.

Steps:
- In a medium mixing bowl, place the berries and pour the vinegar over them. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to divide the berries among 4 champagne glasses-let as much or as little vinegar into the glass as desired. Top with a spoonful of whipped cream. Serve cold.
- Use fresh strawberries in season-remember they are only truly in season locally for about 3 weeks, depending on where you live. Underripe berries are not sweet enough to offset the tart vinegar.
