Fresh Cherve Drizzled with Aged Golden Peach Balsamic Condimento Reduction

This application is easy, elegant and delicious.  Use  only the finest quality, fresh goat cheese here.  The golden peach condimento reduction compliments the creamy, slightly salty, tangy goat cheese perfectly.  It adds a mellow sweetness, the complex flavor of ripe peach and naturally caramelized dried fruit notes.

2 cups Liquid Gold white peach balsamic condimento
8 oz. fresh cherve
In a 2 quart sauce pan over very low heat, gently simmer the condimento and reduce by half, approximately one cup.   The condiment should never be allowed to boil or the natural sugar will burn and become bitter.  The pot should be watched carefully.  The process can take as long as 30 minutes but the results will be worth the effort.  The finished reduction should be thick and light amber in color.  Once smell slightly of caramel and complex fruit.  Allow to cook completely and then transfer to a jar.  Once allowed to sit, and cool the flavor will become more complex.  It can be kept on the counter or in the refrigerator, however refrigeration is not necessary.  Use to glaze pork, poultry, ribs, fresh fruit or paired with cheeses.
