After this time, add Debic Culinaire Original and continue cooking for another 10 minutes. Blend in the thermomix and add salt to taste. Add the apple vinegar before serving.

Reduced balsamic vinegar

Combine the ingredients in a small saucepan, bring to boiling point and reduce by 2/3 to a syrupy consistency. Serve cold.
