Golden Sultana Agrodolce

A little sweet, a little sour, Agrodolce is the condiment that you need in your life. Once you’ve tasted this sweet and sour treat, you’ll want to put it on everything!

Italian agrodolc is a sticky, tart-sweet condiment made by reducing sugar or honey, vinegar, and sometimes fruit and/or vegetables. Chef Michael Oliver uses a version punched up with golden sultanas. Just make a batch and start spooning it over roasted vegetables, on pasta, over seafood, chicken, pork, cheese you name it!
