Summer Berries with Balsamic Vinegar


1 quart strawberries, rinsed, hulled and sliced
½ -pint blackberries or blueberries
¼-cup sugar, or more to taste
1-tsp Traditional, Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry, Tangerine or Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar (more to taste if you’d like)
1/8-tsp freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Berries with balsamic vinegar will not hold for any length of time. You can sugar the berries an hour or two before serving them, but no longer. Sprinkle on the vinegar and pepper, very judiciously, just before serving. The berries, of course, can be served solo, but for an even more elegant presentation, add a few crisp cookies or a slice of pound, sponge or angel food cake.
~Toss berries with the 1/4 cup sugar, and let sit for 10 minutes or longer. Do not refrigerate
~Sprinkle with the vinegar; toss gently, then taste and add more sugar or vinegar if necessary ~Sprinkle with the pepper, toss again, and serve, garnished with the mint, if you like
~Spoon into a glass or bowl, and serve next to cookies or a piece of cake
