Strawberry Balsamic Jam



3 Cups Diced Fresh Strawberries
1 Cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar

Mix fruit with sugar in a wide bottom sauce pan or frying pan. Cook over medium heat until thickened and mixture coats the back of a spoon - about 15-20 minutes. You can test jelling by dropping a tiny amount on a cold plate that has been in the freezer for five minutes. Once the mixture is thickened add the balsamic vinegar and pour into a clean hot pint jar. Wipe the rim of the jar clean. Top with canning lid and tighten with a ring. If planning to use, store in the refrigerator. If long term storage is desired, seal in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.
