Instructions
1
Hull the strawberries and halve them (quarter the larger ones), then place in a bowl and set aside.
2
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
3
Simmer the syrup gently for 6-8 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally, until it reduces by roughly half and coats the back of a spoon.
4
Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes - it will thicken further as it cools.
5
Divide the strawberries between two bowls, drizzle the cooled glaze over the top, and finish with a crack of black pepper and torn mint leaves.
6
Serve immediately while the glaze is still warm-cool and glossy.
