Preparation

Step 1

DIRECTIONS

1. Holding it with tongs, lightly char the entire outside of the cinnamon stick over a gas burner.

2. In a small pot, warm the vinegar over medium heat, 5 minutes. Combine the warm vinegar, orange peel, rosemary and charred cinnamon stick in a plastic storage container. Seal and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 1 week before using. Mix a spoonful with honey and drizzle over desserts for a sweet, smoky finish with just the right amount of acidity.
