Fresh Strawberries and Balsamic Vinegar Ice Cream Parfaits

One of my new obsessions - the combination of balsamic vinegar and strawberries. It's not for everyone but if it is your cup of tea, it is amazing! Make sure that you don't leave out the black pepper, I know that it sounds odd but it really brings out the flavor!!! This recipe is for cooking over the stove but I have also made this sauce before in the microwave with decent results.
