BBQ Strawberries with Black Pepper Honey Glaze
When you’re sitting around a braai to eat and keeping the coals alive while you set the world to rights, you might as well turn to the fire for dessert as well. This is a playful way of taking fresh strawberries to another level. Best when they are in season and bursting with flavour from the sun... the larger the berry, the better.
