Strawberries in balsamic vinegar and orange juice

Pudding & Cake Serves 2 10 min

Macerating strawberries in a bit of sugar and balsamic encourages them to soften and release a delicious fruity syrup. It's a good technique for strawberries that aren't perfectly ripe. With splash of cream this is a splendid summer dessert.
