Strawberry Pazzo

Ingredients

Serves: Serves 4

6 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup Superfine sugar

Gray Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 cups Strawberries, stemmed and quartered

6 Italian-style biscotti, about 6 inches long

4 oz. Mascarpone cheese or vanilla gelato

Directions
Combine vinegar, sugar, salt and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate. Let stand for 15 minutes. When ready, stir again to incorporate all the sugar then pour over sliced strawberries and gently toss until berries are fully coated. Gently crush biscotti and add to a serving bowl. Spoon strawberries on top. Stir mascarpone cheese to a smooth consistency then top each serving with a dollop of mascarpone. Finish with any remaining syrup and serve immediately.
Optional serving suggestion: For an elegant presentation, place a single Italian-style biscotti finger upright in a martini glass. Spoon marinated berries into the glass and top with frozen yogurt or gelato.
