Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh strawberries
• 60 ml balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 pieces fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them in halves or quarters, depending on their size. Place the strawberries in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 3

Allow the balsamic mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and turns into a glaze. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Let the balsamic glaze cool for 2-3 minutes before pouring it over the strawberries. Gently toss the strawberries in the glaze to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Transfer the glazed strawberries to serving bowls or plates and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

Step 6

Serve immediately or allow the strawberries to marinate in the glaze for up to 30 minutes before serving for a deeper flavor.
