The finished Coconut Infused White Balsamic Vinegar is pretty delicate and is more of a finishing vinegar than a cooking one. It’s best served on fresh fruit, in fruit salads, or on fish straight from the grill or broiler. The exception to the no-cooking rule is that a dash or two of this vinegar is wonderful added to fruit crisps.
Balsamic vinegar and olive oil are a match made in heaven. I already enjoy oil and vinegar on my salads, but when I used balsamic vinegar, it felt like I improved on a classic. You can also use this balsamic vinaigrette recipe as a marinade, too! Let your steak, chicken, and pork marinate overnight for a really juicy flavor.
Flavor: The balsamic vinegar also adds a subtle sweet flavor, without adding any sugars or sweeteners. While the dark vinegar stands up to flavorful red meat, you could also swap it for white wine vinegar and try this marinade on chicken or fish.
Balsamic vinegar glaze that you find at the store often has added preservatives, caramel color, and even corn syrup to make them thick and shelf-stable, and finding one without sugar added is almost impossible. But in just 20 minutes, you can make a homemade balsamic reduction glaze without the sugar and additives.
