The end of Summer signals a bit of a change in the types of salads I’m eating to include a bit of Autumn warmth. Last night, I roasted some pumpkin and caramelised some onions to create a more hearty salad to keep me going through the rainy night. Added to this was rocket, fresh basil, avocado, tomatoes, mushrooms and grated parmesan.The key to my balsamic caramelised onions and balsamic salad dressing was (surprise, surprise) an awesome balsamic vinegar, and I found one which took my plain old salad and made it taste out of this world- LiraH’s Caramelised Raspberry Balsamic.
That’s right: Caramelised. Raspberry. Balsamic.
This unique vinegar is like none other I’ve had before. LiraH reduces its usual Balsamic to a sticky consistency and includes a natural raspberry flavour. When I cracked open the lid, I felt like I was in a fresh raspberry field- the smell was amazing. The vinegar itself was already sweet, so while I usually add sugar to my caramelised onions, I had no need to with this product.
The vinegar poured as a thick syrup and would also work wonders pancakes served with vanilla icecream and fresh fruits. Normally I’d be branded crazy for suggesting balsamic on breakfast or dessert, but the sweetness of this Caramelised Raspberry Balsamic would just be a sensational addition to pretty much any meal!
LiraH operates from a vinegar-making “winery” near the Qld/NSW border, where the vineyards are utilised to make their Verjus. Old oak barrels are used to age their red and white wine vinegars, which goes a long way to explaining why LiraH products are simply stunning.
LiraH has a range of other sweet and dry styles of products as well including: Nebbiolo Verjus, Caramelised Apple Balsamic, Caramelised Ginger Balsamic, Shiraz Vinegar and Sweet Spiced Merlot Vinegar just to name a few. Seriously though, it is hard to go past their range of Caramelised Balsamics, whether you’re a sweet of savoury person.
