In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, vinegar and 4 tablespoons of sugar. Stir gently. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
At serving time, combine the yogurt and cream in a bowl and whisk gently to combine. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar to taste. The mixture should remain quite firm.
