You will need
- 170g cup balsamic vinegar

- 170g cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
To make
-
Prepare the Infused Balsamic Vinegar: In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and jam. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the jam is dissolved and the vinegar is well infused. Remove from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
-
Create the Vinaigrette: In a mixing bowl, combine the jam-infused balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
-
Incorporate the Olive Oil: Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking the mixture. This will help emulsify the vinaigrette, creating a smooth and well-blended dressing.
-
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning as needed by adding more salt or pepper to suit your preferences.
- Store and Serve: Transfer the jam-infused balsamic vinaigrette to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. Allow the flavours to meld for at least 30 minutes before using. Shake well before serving.
