Balsamic Baked Strawberries

Preheat the oven to the lowest possible heat, or use the aga warming oven later. Prepare the strawberries, wash, cut off the tops and halve them lengthways. Place in an oven proof dish.

Place the balsamic vinegar, sugar and green peppercorns in a small saucepan and heat over a low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Make sure you don't burn the sugar onto the bottom of the pan.

Pour the balsamic vinegar mix over the strawberries and place in the preheated oven or aga warming oven.

After about 50 minutes, put the heat of the oven up to 200C, or transfer the strawberries to the aga roasting oven (the hotter one).

Remove from the oven and serve with ice cream or frozen yoghurt.
