Dark Espresso Dark Balsamic Vinegar

Thanksgiving Brussels Sprouts Secret

This is my secret weapon when it comes to Thanksgiving Brussels sprouts that even the kids beg for. Leading up to Thanksgiving, I bought several different trial-size flavors of white and dark balsamic vinegars. I focused on flavors like pomegranate, cinnamon pear, etc. but the employee at the store recommended that I try Espresso. I have a few chef friends, and I did a blind taste test with reducing each flavor of vinegar into a glaze. The clear winner was this espresso flavor. For that Thanksgiving, I roasted the Brussels sprouts while I reduced the Espresso balasmic vinegar (4tbsp) with a little bit (1bsp) of honey or maple syrup in a small skillet on the stove. I coated the Brussels sprouts just before serving, and everyone RAVED over the dish - even the children. Now at every family event, the family BEGS me to bring them.

Lots of roasted veggies in our future!

I had a bottle of the Dark Espresso Dark Balsamic Vinegar shipped to a friend out of state. She is absolutely thrilled with the product and was very impressed with how securely the bottle was packed for shipping. Ordering was super easy. We’re very happy to support The Olive Basket!
