This recipe is a great way to use up leftover strawberries. I always have a few berries left over after making a smoothie or parfait, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of strawberries, but this recipe changed my mind. The balsamic vinegar and toffee sauce really brought out the flavor of the berries.
