Strawberry Vinegar - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 lb fresh strawberries, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup white balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Place strawberries and sugar into a blender or small food processor. Pulse on high until strawberries and sugar are pulverized (add a bit of the vinegar if necessary). Add the vinegar and blend until completely mixed.
Allow the strawberry-vinegar mixture to sit in the blender for one hour (this will allow the strawberry flavor to infuse the vinegar).
After the hour is up, pour the mixture through a fine sieve lined with a piece of cheesecloth. Allow to drain completely, using a spoon to push the vinegar through the cheesecloth if necessary.
This vinegar may be kept in the refrigerator for up to one week.
