About Balsamic Vinegars

Balsamic vinegar, that aged-in-wood variety many of us have fallen in love with, makes a wonderful syrup when cooked down to about one-third its original volume.  We have many infused flavors to choose from...both in the Dark Balsamics as well as the White Balsamics.  Our Balsamic Vinegars have no additives or preservatives added to them.  They have 3 carbs per tablespoon and 10 calories per tablespoon.

Why am I telling you this?  Because when reduced  (I'll tell you what this is in a sec) they make a thick, rich, sweet syrup that is wonderful for diabetics or people who are counting carbs. 





                                                                      

You can drizzle this amazing stuff over more foods than you'd ever imagine.......everything from roasted vegetables to desserts. It's even great on pancakes, fruit, pound cake,fruit sorbets and ice cream. This might just be the most versatile one-ingredient sauce ever.

School has just started and kids are coming home hungry for snacks.  Why not offer them slices of fruit drizzled with an infused Balsamic reduction?  Think about apples drizzled with Red Apple Balsamic or pears drizzled with Cinnamon Pear Balsamic.  The combinations are endless.

Balsamic reduction:

1. Place 1 cup Balsamic Vinegar in a shallow saucepan over medium heat
2. Simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, or until the vinegar is reduced in volume by 1/2.
3. Transfer to a bowl, cover tightly, and store indefinitely at room temperature.
