Title: Caramelised Balsamic
Post by: achookwoman on August 09, 2015, 11:50:24 pm
I hesitated to publish this recipe as Helene at Super Kitchen Machine has one that is similar. The difference is that Helene's recipe uses honey, this one brown and raw sugar.
There is a shortage of honey in Australia at the moment due to drought in many of the forests where the hives are placed. I tend therefore not to use honey in cooking.

Ingredients

250 g Balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons of brown sugar
6 tablespoons of raw sugar.

Method
Place all ingredients in TMX bowl and cook 10 minutes/ 100 / speed 3, CUP IN.
Then cook 10 minutes/100/speed 3/ CUP OUT.
Pour into sterile bottle and allow to cook before placing lid on.

Notes
Can adjust with more sugar, taste first.
I am soaking dried Turkish figs in this to add to a lentil and watercress salad.

Inspiration for this recipe came from Community , cook book. I would recommend this to anyone who loves salads. I have adapted the recipe to TMX, and changed the ingredients slightly

As you can see it is very easy, and absolutely delicious. Thinking baked pears next then over Philly cheese as dip.

It sounds lovely. I think I would love a little over my lunch salad greens.

I'm lucky with honey. One of the ladies that frequently attends Nikki's classes sells it to us and I have another supplier in Esperance.
