    If you are a fan of the sweet and tangy contrast this Balsmic Caramel Sauce is for you!

    It is simple enough to make and unusual enough to elevate your dessert to retaurant quality.

    Balsamic vinegar comes in many different levels of quality. The aged Balsamic vinegars from Modena can be very pricey! You don't need expensive balsamic vinegar for this. Just read the ingredients and make sure it doesn't have caramel colouring added instead of being real concentrated grape must.

    How Do I Use Balsamic Caramel Sauce?

    Once you taste this you will be dreaming up ways to incorporate this into your meals and treat!

    I made it to go with this Balsamic Caramel Cheesecake.

    Creamy, cheesecake with balsamic caramel drizzled on top, garnished with fresh fig slices and candied walnuts.

    Believe me... once you have tasted this you will dreaming up ways to incorporate it in to your meals and treats!

    • drizzle over strawberries or fresh figs
    • use it as an ice cream or frozen yogurt topping
    • swirl it in to homemade ice cream or Frogurt
    • drizzle it over bread pudding
    • drizzle it over French Macarons

    Anywhere you might use caramel you could consider this sweet, tangy version!
