preservation Balsamic Vinegar in Sauces?

[mecdave]

I'm into sweet/hot sauces and wonder how Balsamic Vinegar would work? It's sweet and fairly mild, has a higher acidity level (6%), and there is even a white variety so it shouldn't change the appearance much. Anyone tried it for sauces yet?

I've used balsamic in my sauces. I like it alot. It does add that little bit of sweetness to the sauce.

Yes, and buy real balsamic of Modena, not the "vinegar, caramel color, grape must" fake stuff.

It is a great additive to sauces....and I must agree with THP's post. ....make sure its the real stuff or don't waste your money as mess up a good batch of sauce. There are some cheap imitations on the market.... real stuff is not cheap, but a little goes a long way.
