This was a hit! I would also recommend letting the strawberries soak in the sugar for a while longer.

This is a great salad! Worth a try,

Delicious and so easy.

Wow - Had no idea what to expect with this. It was so good! Usually use regular sugar with strawberies but I will always use brown sugar from now on. Used a little less balsamic - Really good! Thanks for the recipe.

OMIGOSH!!! This stuff is to die for. I would never have believed something so simple could be so fantastic! I am so hooked now... Thanks!

I really loved this. I cut back o the sugar by 1/2 T and added some fresh basil (as suggested by reviewer). Anytime pepper is called for, I call for a little more. ;) This was perfect and simple. Thank you!

I loved this simple, tasty recipe. I used the Splenda Brown Sugar blend and it tasted awesome! My family turned their noses up at the thought of black pepper pn strawberries so I probably will not use it next time but, I will put the peppermill on the table so my guests can add freshly ground pepper if they desire. I have used different grades of balsamic vinegar and the cheaper version was too tart; stick to the good stuff. I think next time I will add a dash of vanilla. Definitely a keeper!

Yummy! My husband eyed this suspiciously at first, but then had two helpings.

I sliced my strawberries (wish I had just halved them like in allrecipe sphoto) & then let them sit in the sugar for about an hour ...which was a bit too long I think for the sliced berries....they got a little mushy in their juices. So if I were using slices I wouldn't let them sit for that long but I think halves would hold up better. And then i waited untl serving beore sprinkling w/ balsamic as adviced by reviewers. Wsa a perfect side for an upscale 4th of July menu..thansk Edie Moon!

These berries were a fun change to just strawberries and sugar, but really I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. This is a nice start to a strawberry and spinach salad, though.

My 3 year old son gobbles this up! A suprisingly delicious and unique way to prepare strawberries.

I left out the pepper and it was yummy :)

This was absolutely fabulous! Everyone raved about it. The balsamic vinegar and pepper are an unusual twist but great flavor.

This was a great way to serve plain strawberries. I whipped this together at the last minute, not waiting the 10 minutes. It turned out great!! My kids were even begging for more!

Woah! First of all, I didn't think this would work at all. Second, I don't usually really like strawberries because they are a little too tart for me. THIS WAS AWESOME. The perfect sweetness and tenderness. Really amazing, you have got to try it!

Made the strawberries sweet, but not too sweet. Just right! Perfect for a BBQ !
