Balsamic Blueberries and Peaches

Adapted From Epicurious

This recipe was super easy, and very yummy! I was a little leary of the black pepper, but it added the perfect little kick. Be sure to use fresh ground pepper.

• 3 tablespoons sugar, or to taste (I substituted with 1 TBSP date sugar - If the fruit is in season, you won't need any sugar at all)
  
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 3 cups blueberries (about 1 lb)
• 1 lb peaches or nectarines, sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

Boil 3 tablespoons sugar with vinegar, and 1 cup blueberries in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring, 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Combine remaining 2 cups blueberries with peach slices in a large bowl. Toss with hot blueberry syrup and black pepper, then add sugar to taste. Let stand, tossing occasionally, 30 minutes.
