Source: The Olive Cellar, Northland Ave., Appleton

You can also use the Red Apple Balsamic Vinegar in a balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing, instead of using plain balsamic.

Ingredients

  • ½ c. red apple balsamic vinegar (specialty oilery stores)
  • ¾ c. brown sugar
  • 2 Tbls. butter
  • pecans, coarsely chopped (optional)

Ways To Use . . .

  • Drizzle over ice cream
  • Add to oatmeal
  • Stir into yogurt
  • Spoon onto baked sweet potatoes
  • Drizzle over apple wedges or bananas

Instructions

Melt butter over medium heat, add red apple balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and pecans, if using.

Simmer until sugar dissolves completely (only talks 1-2 minutes). It will look syrupy, but will thicken and become saucy as it cools. Be careful not to burn! If you overcook, it will turn hard.

Store at room temperature, in a glass jar or other type of food storage container.

NOTE: Feel free to cut ingredients in half, if you don't need much.
