This is a sweet and tart condiment that is designed to be savored much like fine caviar. The flavors are so intense that a little goes a long way. This makes a great from my kitchen gift! This recipe can be enjoyed three ways: The delicious aromas produced will overtake any odors while you are cooking the reduction; the recipient of the gift will appreciate the homemade gift; you will be overwhelmed with praise when they taste it! Serve as an appetizer on a sweet cracker, smoked Gouda or both; slice of apple or pear; peach half or slice of mango. Serve on lamb chops or London broil. Don't stop there!
