Recipe Instructions:

1 & 1/2 pounds fresh strawberries, preferably locally grown
3 to 4 teaspoons pink peppercorns
2 to 4 tablespoons sugar

Directions
Wash strawberries and remove stems. Cut into slices or wedges and place into a non-reactive bowl.
Using a mortar and pestle mash up the pink peppercorns until coarsely ground. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, and mash until almost homogenous. (Alternately use a spice grinder.)
Pour into the bowl with the strawberries and mix to combine. Cover the bowl and let rest in the refrigerator for an hour or so to macerate. Mix well and taste for sweetness. Add additional sugar if desired.
Optional: I like to mash about 1/3 to 1/2 of the berry pieces with my potato masher to make a chunky sauce. If I'm going to make crostini I will not do this step.
