The Spicy Olive’s Fresh Cherve drizzled with Ripe Peach Balsamic Reduction

The Spicy Olive's Fresh Cherve drizzled with Ripe Peach Balsamic Reduction

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups The Spicy Olive's Ripe Peach white balsamic vinegar
  • 8 oz fresh cherve or goat cheese

Method
 

  1. In a 2 quart sauce pan over a very low heat, gently simmer the peach balsamic and reduce by half, approximately one cup. The condiment should never be allowed to boil or the natural sugar will burn and become bitter. The pot should be watched carefully. The process can take as long as 30 minutes but the results will be worth the effort. The finished reduction should be thick and light amber in color. The smell is slightly of caramel and complex fruit. Allow to cook completely and then transfer to a jar. Once allowed to sit, and cool the flavor will become more complex. It can be kept on the counter or in the refrigerator, however refrigeration is not necessary. Use to glaze pork, poultry, ribs, fresh fruit, or paired with cheeses.
