Delicious and something we do often – nice with a bit of black pepper or chilli too!

Strawberries and balsamic vinegar are a nice combo. I will have to try adding some honey and basil next time.

I love this combination of flavours! Another favourite is strawberries sliced and macerated in balsamic vinegar, icing sugar and black pepper – yum.
