Vinegar and Strawberries?

We had some leftover strawberries from our Valentine's Day fondue, so I finally got to try something I'm aways reading as a serving suggestion: strawberries and balsamic vinegar. Julia Child suggests macerating the strawberries with a little bit of sugar in balsamic, which is what I did. It tends to make the strawberries taste more like strawberries, sweet with a tang. What I liked even more was the liquid that was left, a mixture of the strawberries' juices and the balsamic. I drizzled it over poundcake and topped it all with the strawberries. I actually think the poundcake was too sweet; most recipes I see are for the mixture served with sabayon or mascarpone.
