Notes

• From the 'Plates' SA cookbook by Ann Wise.
• Card note: 'Sugar syrup is a wonderfully versatile stand-by to keep in the fridge. It can be used in vinaigrettes, to adjust sauces that are too tart, indeed, whenever some immediate sweetness is required without the problem of having to make sure sugar granules are dissolved.'
• Used in the Vinaigrette recipe in this collection — see vinaigrette.yaml.
