Ingredients

  • 2 cups strawberries, stemmed and quartered
  • 6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup superfine sugar
  • 6 large Italian biscotti, broken into small pieces
  • 4 ounces mascarpone cheese, stirred to a smooth consistency
  • Sea salt, preferably gray salt, and freshly ground black pepper
  • Cooking Directions

    Place the strawberries in a bowl.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Let stand for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to completely dissolve the sugar.

    Pour the marinade over the berries and gently toss to coat.

    Divide the biscotti pieces into 4 bowls. Spoon the berries and some of the marinade over each and top with a dollop of mascarpone. Serve immediately.
