Strawberry Pretzel Crostini

Stir together 2 cups finely chopped strawberries, 1/4 cup choppped fresh basil, 2 Tbsp. dark brown sugar, 4 tsp. minced shallot and a pinch of pepper.   Spread 13 oz. pkg. softened cream cheese onto 30 pretzel crackers.   Top with strawberry mixture.   Makes 3 dozen.
(I also think this would be great on graham crackers instead of pretzels).
