Method

Choose large, plump strawberries with lovely fresh stems attached

Thread 3 or 5 strawberries onto skewers allowing 2 skewer per person In a separate sauce pan, melt 1 cup of clear, liquid honey together with 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 2-3 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper (add more or less as desired).

Brush the warm syrup onto the strawberry skewers before placing them on a very hot BBQ grill. Turn them from time to time with each turn applying a fresh brush on syrup. Grill the skewers for about 4-5 or until they start to brown. Arrange on the skewers onto service plates, dust with a little icing sugar and garnish with a scoop of grantia.
