Adapted from Seven Spoons by Tara O’Brady Tara originally called for coriander seeds in her recipe, and I swapped out allspice since I like the sharp kick of allspice berries. You could use anything from star anise to cinnamon either along with the allspice, or swap out whatever spices you think that you might like. I would avoid going with too many though, as you want to flavor of the vinegared strawberries to be front and center. She also uses Champagne vinegar, which is not so easy to find in France (they don’t like the name “Champagne” to be associated with vinegar!) So you could use that in place of the apple cider vinegar that I used here. Although I’m not a fan of it on salads, a couple of discrete drops of balsamic vinegar will enrich the flavor, if you have any on hand.
