White Balsamic Blackberry W Lemon Thyme Vinegar Recipes

BLACKBERRY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the everything except the oil to a small saucepan and place it over low heat. Stirring a bit, cook just to dissolve the sugar and warm the mixture, about 3 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and use the back of a fork to macerate the blackberries. (I like keeping them partially intact.)
• Gradually whisk in the oil and blend until it's completely emulsified.
