SALAD DRESSING (VINAIGRETTE) PREPARATION

Combine 2 parts Olive Oil with 1 part Pomegranate Balsamic.  Whisk together and serve.  To emulsify dab in a small amount of Dijon mustard or light mayo and continue whisking.  Oil and balsamic will become creamy in appearance.  Refrigerate remaining amount for up to 3 days.

BALSAMIC MARINADE PREPARATION

Combine equal parts Pomegranate Balsamic with equal parts Olive Oil. We recommend preparing just enough to cover the protein. Place in zip-lock bag and squeeze out air. Place in refrigerator for at least six hours.

Note: For Fish, Seafood (catches from the water) we recommend rubbing the Olive Oil into the raw protein in the absence of the balsamic vinegar for approximately 30 minutes. We recommend NOT using balsamic during the marinade step to prevent the acidic balsamic from breaking down the delicate protein.  Instead, combine Olive Oil and Pomegranate Balsamic and use to drizzle over the finished product.

BALSAMIC REDUCTION METHOD

Our authentic barrel-aged Italian balsamics are naturally reduced through the aging process and without the addition of thickening agents such as high fructose corn syrup or molasses.  If you desire a thicker balsamic to use as a glaze or reduction then simply heat two times the amount needed in a small saucepan over medium to medium-high heat with constant stirring.  As the balsamic starts to reduce it will pull to the sides of the pan.  Remove reduction from heat just prior to desired thickness, as the balsamic will continue to reduce until cooled.  Alternatively, reduce to desired thickness and place reduction in bowl over an ice bath.  As a rule of thumb 1/4 cup will reduce to approximately 50% within 3-5 minutes.  Reductions or “glazes” can be used as BBQ sauces, finishing glazes for fish, drizzled over ice cream.
