Adjust our delicious balsamic vinegar recipe to taste just the way you want it to...No surprises! You can make it as sweet or vinegary as you desire.
In case you're wondering, read the back of any store-bought balsamic vinegar. Look for the ingredient "mosto cotto" or "cooked grape must"--that ingredient is Vino Cotto! Unlike some balsamic vinegar brands, yours will not contain any additives, sweeteners, preservatives, or colorants. This makes yours a much healthier alternative for your family.
Use your homemade balsamic vinegar in all recipes that list it as an ingredient. Your family and friends will love what you make. And, you'll have bragging rights, too. You can say, "I even made the balsamic vinegar!" But, if you prefer that the dish not having a vinegary flavor to it, replace the balsamic vinegar with just Vino Cotto. It will come out delicious!
