Homemade Peach Balsamic Vinaigrette 桃子巴沙米可沙拉醬

In Quebec, autumn really kicks in fast! With the clouds, the wind, and the temperature around 10-20C, it really feels like summer is slipping away. With the weather getting cooler and cooler, of course I get a bit sad to see all the colourful summer fruits disappearing slowly in the market. I'm always thinking of ways to make those fruits and vegetables stay with us a little longer.


I've been getting very good peaches this year, which is pretty surprising considering that their season is ending soon. I thought I'd take a little advantage of that this year, and that's where the inspiration for this recipe came from.

Homemade Peach Balsamic Vinaigrette

  

A: 1 peach, skinned

    2 t maple syrup

    1 T water

B: 3 T balsamic vinegar

    6 T olive oil

    Salt and pepper

*T = tbsp, t = tsp

1. Cut the peach into small dices, about 1cm. *As you can see, I didn't bother to take the skin off, since my peaches were organic, but you can if you'd like. ^ ^

2. Put A in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn down the heat to low and let simmer for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is soft.

 

3. Blend mixture A in a food processor or with a handheld blender.

4. Add A to B through a strainer, mix well with a whisk. Pour the whole mixture into a sterilized glass jar and store it in the fridge. * You can certainly make a large amount to share with the love ones around you! ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ

魁北克的秋天總是來的早。隨著八月底那陰黑的烏雲、涼涼的秋風和攝氏5-20度的氣候，可以感到秋意的到來。由於天氣漸漸轉涼，我不由得為那些快要在市場上漸漸消失的夏季蔬果感到有點感傷…但在那同時，我也會想一些可以把它們儲存起來的一些方式。

今年不知為什麼，感覺桃子特別的好吃，而且我其實很驚訝在九月初(這裡桃子快要結束的季節)還能吃到那麼甜美的桃子！這使我想到這個點子，這也就是以下食譜的由來…

桃子巴沙米可沙拉醬

A: 桃子     1個大的

    楓糖漿  2小匙

    水       1大匙

B: 巴沙米可醋  3大匙

    橄欖油       1/4杯 + 2大匙        

    少許鹽、胡椒

1. 將A料中的桃子先切小塊(約1公分)。*因為我使用的桃子是有機的，所以我沒有把皮撕去，若是你想把皮去掉，也可以這麼做^ ^

2. 將A料放入一個小型的鍋子，加熱至滾。然後以小火繼續煮約3-4分鐘至軟

3  把煮軟的A料放稍涼之後，以食物調理機打成泥

4. 將A過濾加入B，用攪拌器拌勻之後放入一個消毒過、乾淨的玻璃罐，存放入冰箱。*可以把份量增加，分享給身邊的家人和朋友們喔~ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ
