It seems like forever ago that I promised to share some specific recipes using Home-made Fermented Pineapple Vinegar – and no wonder, the original recipe was posted eight months ago! Between taking a break from the blog and the really uninteresting ways I consume this vinegar (a pre-breakfast teaspoon of vinegar in water, flax-pineapple vinaigrette or citrus dressing for salads) I hadn’t really been …
Raw Walnut-Goji Brownie Bites
