Balsamic Toffee Sauce
Summer for m is strawberries. We used to have a battle with our dearly departed Jack Russell called Bella over who owned the strawberry patch. In the end I have to admit that she did, but only because she got to eat the strawberries. To the victor got the spoils. Now that Bella has passed on to the the great strawberry patch on the sky you would think that there would be plenty of strawberries to go around. Now we have to fight a five year old for the opportunity to seems able to hoover up the strawberries like an industrial pool cleaner. But whenever there are left over strawberries for me to sample, I reach for this sauce.
Ingredients
500 ml bottle cheap balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon castor sugar
1 tablespoon black molasses sugar or brown sugar
Method
Using a wide saucepan, reduce the balsamic vinegar and the castor sugar down to around 100mls.
When it is starting to become thick and syrupy, add the black molasses sugar and stir to dissolve. Check the sweetness and add more if needed or to taste. It should have pungent toffee aroma and become very thick.
It also goes well with ice cream
