Strawberries Macerated in Red Wine

Wash the strawberries, pat dry and remove the stems and hulls. Slice the berries in half and transfer to a mixing bowl. Pour the balsamic vinegar and the wine over the berries. Add sugar to taste and mix well. Refrigerate for two hours, stirring a couple of times. Serve in a frosted champagne flute with a bit of juice and garnish with a spring of mint. Makes 6 servings
