Prune Juice Concentrate Applications

Culinary

With the color and consistency of aged balsamic vinegar, this concentrate works well as a glaze for vegetables (see recipe for Roasted Vegetables with Balsamic Glaze) or proteins. It also reduces the time involved in caramelizing onions because it promotes browning.

More Culinary Applications

Meat / Poultry

Blending a small quantity of this concentrate into ground meat will deepen the color and allow burgers or sausages to caramelize better. The concentrate also suppresses lipid oxidation.

More Meat / Poultry Applications

Sauces

The flavor of this concentrate pairs well with soy sauce and other condiments used in stir-fry sauces. It can also help lower total sodium levels in these sauces. Because it also imparts sweetness, it allows for lower overall sugar levels.

More Sauce Applications

Bakery / Bars

This concentrate can help increase moisture and decrease sugar while boosting caramelization. To reduce fat and sugar, replace up to 50% fat with Prune Juice Concentrate (see the recipe for Fudgy Brownies). In bars, use this concentrate to help with binding and moisture retention.
