[...] This Mango Dressing is also a good use of vanilla vinegar. It’s excellent on the panfried mashed potato patties and spinach salad.[...]

Try white wine vinegar, too. It will be a light taste like I imagine the rice wine vinegar would give. Great idea!

Ooo yeah… I’ve seen references to vanilla with lobster. Though I admit I don’t crack open the lobster tails that often around here.

Actually the price has already dropped. Do let us know what other uses you come up with for the vinegar it sounds intriguing….I’m thinking maybe with chilled seafood?

I haven’t used it in a recipe yet- letting it steep more. Though I just tested it on tortilla chips and its wonderful! I’m surprised how well the vanilla goes with the vinegar- it adds a warm woodsy-floral note to the back of my mouth. It’s soft- not very aggressive. You can kind of pick out that the flavor is vanilla, but I’m so not use to tasting vanilla without sweetness added.

I was thinking rice wine vinegar would have less of a punch than cider vinegar… are you thinking plain old white vinegar?

Hi Jocelyn, this is very interesting! What’s that taste like? I think rice wine vinegar has quite a kick though.

Wow! That sounds so cool. I guess that means I’m going to have to break down and buy some expensive vanilla beans. I can’t wait.
