Berries with Balsamic Vinegar

© "So Easy, So Delicious"

1 pt strawberries, raspberries, blackberries or combination
2½ T light brown or granulated sugar
1 T balsamic vinegar

Wash, remove stems and slice berries. Toss with sugar and vinegar. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. This is delicious by itself or it may be served over vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.

Hint: This is an elegant and refreshing dessert that is effortless to prepare.

Variation:
Caramelized Nut Topping for Balsamic Berries

2 T granulated sugar
3 T pine nuts or slivered almonds

Combine sugar and nuts in a small fry pan. Stir over medium heat until sugar melts and nuts are golden and glazed, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a foil-lined plate or cookie sheet and cool. Scoop vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt into fruit dishes or champagne glasses. Top with balsamic berries and caramelized nuts.
