It was ok - flavors were a bit bland. Vinegar taste was really overwhelming; would reduce to 1/4 next time. -
This was just devine. The fruits all combined together so nicely with the balsamic creating a lovely balance between sweet and tart. This remined me very much of a saucy chutney without the added sugar. I should mention that when the sauce finished cooking, it seemed too acidic and I was concerned. After letting it cool about 10 minutes, the balsamic mellowed and the flavor from the fruit seemed to becomea bit more assertive. Had the leftovers this eveing, and the flavors were even better. I used fresh apricots to make this WW Core but think the dried kind would work just as well. Thanks for a fantastic meal.
