The caramel sweetness and color of Prune Juice Concentrate makes it resemble balsamic vinegar. When used with red wine vinegar, the result tastes like aged balsamic vinegar from Italy. Here, the concentrate forms a caramelized glaze for root vegetables.

400 g / 13 ounces carrots, cut into 5-cm / 2-inch pieces
