How to Make Strawberry Preserves With Black Pepper And Balsamic Vinegar

  1. Combine 2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper (optional), and 1/2 cup sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the preserves have thickened and become translucent. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Remove from heat and let the preserves cool completely. This allows them to thicken further.
  5. Once cooled, transfer the preserves to sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 month.
