Mother's Day Dessert: Balsamic Glazed Strawberries

I love Balsamic Vinegar. I love the smell of it when we are cooking. I love the bitter-sweet taste. I love the dark color it adds to a meal. My husband on the other hand doesn't love it. He doesn't hate it per say, but if I cook too much with it I can start to feel his dislike grow. He does however love desserts... so I found the perfect recipe where I can combine both of our loves.

We tried this out the other night in a test run for mother's day and think it will be the perfect end to our luncheon. A healthy yet rich dessert.

Balsamic Glazed Strawberries

6 large ripe strawberries
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Clean strawberries and cut into wedges. In a small heavy saucepan heat vinegar and sugar over moderate heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved and simmer 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and add strawberries, tossing to coat.

Serve with ice-cream and/or sugar cookies.
