These strawberries were a perfect ending to a big dinner for overseas company. Served with your equally divine Recipe #222097. Yummo!

I was a little leary as to how vinegar would taste on something sweet, but this was really good! The flavours were not too strong and felt refreshing. I used splenda whiach worked just as good as sugar in creating the syrup. Reviewed during ZWT 4.
