In California the strawberry season is going strong and the season has just begun back here. Growing up in Southern California one of my favorites memories was during strawberry season going to the local stands on the side of the road and picking up flats of strawberries. There are a million and one fabulous recipes with strawberries. One that I just had last night a Strawberry Mojito. This recipe is similar to the Strawberry Mojito in that it is combining Mint with Strawberries. This is a great refreshing light dessert for the summer or easily could be served as a hors d’oeuvres.

2 Cups of cut Strawberries
1.5 Tablespoons of Balsamic Vinegar
1-2 Tablespoons of sugar- (if really fresh will need less sugar)
2 tablespoons of Chopped Mint
Spread
3 tablespoons of softened unsalted Butter
2 teaspoons of Cinnamon Sugar
12 slices of either a Baguette or Brioche (1/2 inch thick)

Preheat oven 350

In a bowl mix together strawberries, vinegar, sugar, and mint. Let sit for at least a half an hour before assembling. In a separate bowl mix together butter and cinnamon sugar and let stand preferably for at least a day but if time does not permit, no worries. Spread each piece of bread with cinnamon butter and bake for 15 minutes. Let stand for a few minutes Top each piece of bread with strawberries and ready to serve.
