A key to my recipe development, and the handcrafted food and desserts I offer for my work and at home, is making real flavor by way of fruit-based reductions and syrups. This is a process of simply cooking-down the juices and nectars of fresh fruit or berries, and pre-made fruit-based products like champagne, wine, and even balsamic vinegar.
Fruit-based liquid + sugar + heat = reduction or syrup.
