1. Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment or use an un-greased 9”x13”x2” baking dish made from glass, stainless steel or ceramics.
3. Place baking sheet in preheated oven. Drizzle strawberries with Port, honey and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast about 20 to 30 minutes until strawberries are soft and juices thicken to a glaze. Watch the edges of the pan, occasionally stirring the strawberries gently to avoid scorching.
4. Remove from oven. Cool in the baking sheet, reserving juices. Remove stems and discard. Cut large strawberries in half and leave whole if small. Place the roasted strawberries with pan juices into a large bowl. Stir in a few drops of balsamic vinegar to taste. Use immediately or refrigerate covered for up to 4 days.
