Tart yet sweet, this pomegranate balsamic walks the line between the two. It is a perfect match for hearty meats like lamb and duck, and makes an exciting dressing whisked with a fused or infused olive oil, such as our garlic olive oil. It adds depth to pan sauces, braised meats or compotes. Drizzle over creamy goat cheese, poached fruits or even ice cream for an elegant and easy dessert.
Olive oil pairing suggestions: Garlic, any non-infused Sigona’s Fresh Press extra virgin olive oil.

Pomegranate Balsamic Stewed Figs
Why not stew figs with fig balsamic? Well, you could, but the pomegranate adds just the right of tart, to help temper the sometimes surprisingly strong sweetness of the figs, and it also brings another layer of flavor to this simple but delectable spread. Serve this on a charcuterie board along with Sweet Grass Dairy’s Green Hill cheese, dollop it on ice cream or pair it with a grilled pork chop. Inspired by The Oil & Vinegar Lover’s Handbook. Makes about 2 cups.
