I love this sauce and strawberries are just beautiful this time of year. The sauce comes together quickly and is very versatile - - it can be used on desserts like icecream, breakfasts like oatmeal or granola - or as a sauce for an entree like halibut or pork chops. It's one of my favorite summertime recipes.

Ingredients

• 10 ripe strawberries
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• 1/2 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper

Instructions

1. warm the pan on medium high heat - add the olive oil
2. saute the strawberries for five minutes in the olive oil, then add the sugar - cooking two more minutes, until strawberries begin to soften
3. add balsamic vinegar and turn the heat down to medium until vinegar mixture reduces by half into a thick syrup
4. add orange juice - stir to combine and remove from heat. 
5. Serve immediately
