Strawberries And Ice Cream With Mint And Balsamic

• 2 cups balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 4-5 strawberries per bowl
• 3 mint leaves per bowl
• the best vanilla ice cream you can get - if you are in Texas or Louisiana, I strongly recommend Blue Bell Natural Vanilla Bean

1. Make the reduction - simmer the balsamic over med-low heat until it has reduced to 1/2 cup - it will be nice and syrupy (is that spelled right?) this took me about a half hour. Stir in the maple syrup and put it in a pouring container of some sort. Stick it in the fridge to chill.
2. For each bowl you are serving - wash, trim and slice the berries. Cut the mint into thin ribbons. Put half the berries in the bowl, add a scoop of ice cream, sprinkle the mint over then drizzle with balsamic reduction. That's it - so easy and so good!!!
