How could this go wrong?!

Guess what I found in the back of the fridge?

A pint-and-a-half of macerated strawberries!

Remember the week before Mother's Day 

when I did the strawberry jam?

There were extra strawberries so I sprinkled 

them with sugar and poured them into a mason jar, 

thinking we'd have strawberry shortcake.

I forgot about them!  They looked as good 

this morning as the day I put them in the fridge.  

And, oh!  so divinely sweet!

So ...... since I was doing some canning this morning ....

I tossed the strawberries into a pot with Balsamic Vinegar, 

a splash of lemon juice and some fresh ground black pepper!  

I ended up with two half-pints of some sinfully delish sauce!

I had the little bit leftover to dabble over ice-cream for lunch!

Yep!  Lunch.  That's it.  Nothing else.

I still have a full afternoon of canning!    

I needed an energy boost!
