I seem to recall (aging brain disease) that about a month ago someone asked about making sauces without vinegar cause they did not like the vinegar taste. My "secret" - I use Rose's Lime Juice - which I buy in the industrial size container from a restaurant/bar supplier friend - he doesn't sell to the public but I use a lot of it in my various recipes and he is a good friend (and I know where the bodies are buried). Anyway - This is a good staple product to use in a lot of sauces because it has sufficient acidity and still does not have the palate wrenching pucker factor of many vinegars. I do use vinegar too but it is mostly aged "real" balsamic vinegar which is fairly sweet, but very, very expensive and I realize not everyone can afford it. The sweetened lime juice on the other hand, can be found everywhere and I am grateful to the Brits for exporting it . If you can find it, they also market a Lime Marmalade which is lovely. -- Andie Paysinger & the PENDRAGON Basenjis,Teafer,Cheesy,Singer & Player asenji@earthlink.net So. Calif.
