Name: Fresh Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar and Basil
Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups sugar; 1 1/4 cups balsamic vinegar; 2 1/2 tablespoons honey; 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper; 1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces and loosely packed; 10 cups strawberries, trimmed and halved (4 pounds whole berries)

Chef Michael Schlow of Boston's Via Matta created this dish for Epicurious's [Wine.Dine.Donate](/features/winedinedonate) program. The sweet and tangy strawberries are delicious on their own, but for a more decadent dessert, serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
