The balsamic mixture appears sticky when first mixed with berries, but chilling it for 1 hour helps it dissolve into the berry juice. This is also delicious with pound cake and whipped cream, mascarpone, or fresh ricotta. If desperate for this when strawberries are out of season, substitute with frozen berries. Prep: 10 minutes, Cook: 6 minutes.

2. Place quartered berries in a medium bowl. Add warm balsamic mixture, and toss gently. Cool to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 1 hour, stirring well before serving.
3. Place a piece of pound cake in the bottom of each of 4 bowls or glasses; top with about 1/2 cup berry mixture and 1/2 cup ice cream. Serve immediately.
