Ingredients:
1 lb. ripe, but firm fresh strawberries
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar (can use red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar)
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar or evaporated cane juice
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. water
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1/4 vanilla bean
Instructions:
Rinse strawberries well and trim off green leaves and any bruised spots. Quarter the largest berries, and halve the smaller ones. Place into a quart canning jar with the rosemary sprig and vanilla bean.
In a small pan combine the vinegar, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil and pour over the strawberries, leaving a little room at the top. Replace the can lid and ring. Tighten. Let cool to room temperature and chill overnight before using.
Keep refrigerated. Lasts a few weeks.
the recipe is from cafe johnsonia.
