Add spices and simmer another 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in Vinegar / Vinegarett (if using) and mix well. Mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Once mixture is completely cooled, add reserved fruits and vegetables and stir well to coat.

When ready to use, either warm up a portion or spoon over your food choice and bake (on top for Salmon) for @ 15 minutes - covered loosely with foil or parchment paper.
