Honey vinegar? - labradors - 03-04-2008

When I was in the store, today, I saw something that intrigued me: vinegar made from honey.

It sounded interesting, so I bought some. Now I just have to figure out something in which to use it.

The description on the bottle (English translation copied from the company's website) says:
Quote:

This vinegar is made from pure bee's honey. It is most frequently used in fruit cocktails and especially with strawberries. It substantially improves warm sweet and sour sauces served with meat, as well as Cumberland-type cold sauces.

I'll have to keep my eyes open for that. I have coconut and cane vinegar. I use them in salad dressings and salsas, and when they're called for in a recipe.

Sounds really interesting.

Never heard of it, but sure sounds interesting. I think the fruit idea would be great. As well as some veggies, like sprouts, that I often give a splash of balsamic to. Maybe a warm carrot salad. Or a salad with chicken over it. I'm trying to think of apps. I may need to find some!

That's really interesting. I went to the company website and they have recipes, but none that use this product.

I really like the fruit application. What an interesting concept.

Also, there are quite a few recipes in Spanish, from tuna-stuffed eggs to chestnut mousse. Here's one of the simpler ones that sounded good. It's from the company's website, but only in Spanish, so I have translated it.

Veal Sirloin with Honey-Orange Sweet-and-Sour Sauce

INGREDIENTS FOR 4 PEOPLE:
  • 4 Veal sirloins, about 6 oz each.
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Honey vinegar
  • Splash of Extra-virgin olive oil (Borges Arbequina variety specified in recipe)
  • 1/2 Glass of Port
  • 2 Oranges, peeled and separated into segments, seeds removed
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
PREPARATION:
  1. Put the vinegar, sugar, and port into a saucepan.
  2. Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until reduced.
  3. To that sauce, add the orange segments until they are soaked.
  4. Sprinkle the sirloins with olive oil.
  5. Grill the sirloins on each side until done. If using a frying pan, instead, warm it up on high heat, then lower the heat to cook the sirloins.
  6. When the sirloins are done, season them with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Plate each sirloin on a plate, accompanied by the sauce/orange mixture.

Mario got me started serving strawberries with Balsamic and lots of freshly ground black pepper for a light dessert. Honey vinegar would be something to try also, I'll bet.

Also, that goat cheese appy I did a few months ago - I'll go look for it.

I plated on a long narrow platter and it is a pretty dish and the flavors are just great! Even the kids were eating this one.

Labs, is the vinegar light or dark? (never mind, it's light ) but, does it say what type of vinegar is used?


Re: Honey vinegar? - Lorraine - 03-05-2008

I made that goat cheese recipe and it fabulous!


Re: Honey vinegar? - firechef - 03-05-2008

That sounds like a nice vinegar. Why not a "vinaigrette" for a fruit salad or even a berry salad? Vinegar with breakfast fruits even. Drizzled over melons even.

Spinach or "field greens" salad with blueberries, blackberries, red raspberries walnuts and this vinegar in a "vinaigrette" sounds good to me.

The goat cheese recipe looks good to.
