Ingredients

1 cup Water
1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup Granulated sugar
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1 lb Fresh strawberries rinsed, hulled, and cut in half
4 Basil leaves

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine water, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and kosher salt.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool completely, for about 1 hour.
Once the mixture is cool, prepare the pickled strawberries by placing strawberries and basil leaves in a 24-ounce jar, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top.
Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the strawberries, ensuring the liquid covers all the strawberries. Seal the jar with a lid and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Chill overnight for the best flavor.
