There are people who have been using different condiments for the food they are eating. Usually, the condiment would serve as a secret ingredient that makes their food taste really good. There are different condiments that are available in the market. Some of it could be made at home as well.

In this article, you will know how you could make a certain condiment. It is called as fig balsamic vinegar. First, you have to gather all of the ingredients that you would need for it. Making this is easy as you would only need one or two cups of fresh figs and a quart of aceto balsamico.

If you would like that it would taste sweet, you can add one fourth cup of sugar in that. You can increase or can lessen the sugar that will be added in it. Doing this step is not necessary and will only depend if it will fit on the taste of the person. This may be optional as well because the fruits you may have bought already have that sweetness in it which will suit to the taste you would prefer.

When all your needs are gathered, you could now begin on that. Prepare any large saucepan. All ingredients must be placed in there to bring it on a simmer. Occasionally stir it over low heat. That must be done for at least ten minutes until cooked. When the time is up, the pan must be covered. Wait a little to allow it to cool down completely prior to beginning on the following steps for that.

Since there is a lot of it, it will be best to begin working on batches of that. Prepare a food processor in this step. If it is not available at home, you can borrow one on your friends or your neighbors. Ensure that you will inquire how that is utilized. Pour some mixture into that processor. Pour sufficient amount in it to avoid it from overflowing. One has to puree this until the mixture will become smooth.

After you are done with it, get a fine sieve including a large bowl. Those are needed for straining that puree. It will be necessary to strain that so the solids that are left in the mixture are removed from it.

Line the sieve with cloth or filter and place this over the bowl. It is better for you to ask for help on this. You may have a hard time on pouring it. Pour that slowly and avoid pressing the solids in it. You have to cover that with a plastic wrap and allow it to be strained while in the refrigerator overnight.

Remove it from the bowl. Make sure that you would discard the solids left in it. You may now pour it in a resealable bottle or jar. Now, you are already done making that.

This can be refrigerated for one month. This can be used in various purposes particularly on cooking. This would surely add flavor on the dishes that you would make.
