Hi there, I tried this recipe over the weekend. It was easy to follow and it turned out really well. You’re right, the more you heat it up the better it tastes. I will need to adjust vinegar vs salt levels the next time around as I wasn’t sure which to increase and which to reduce. I guess understanding the difference comes with more practice. Thanks.
