Additional Tips
Sour Peach Gastrique
This gastrique, made from reducing and sweetening vinegar and peach juice, results in a slightly sour syrup that adds complexity to common cocktails, as well as other culinary creations.
¼ c. white vinegar
½ c. peach nectar
1 T. local honey
2 T. raw sugar
In a small saucepan, reduce the vinegar to 1 ½ tablespoons. Add the peach nectar and reduce to ¼ cup. Stir in the honey and raw sugar and allow to cool.
