Soy free "soy" sauce

[cultureslayer]

Haven't tried this yet, but I will once I get to NC. I love soy sauce and have missed it in the last month (since I figured out the soy problem).

8 oz molasses

3 oz balsamic vinegar

sugar to taste



Combine ingredients. Refrigerate.

Don't most balsamic vinegars have gluten (caramel coloring)?

Caramel coloring has gluten? Just when I think I've gotten it all, something else comes up. Thanks! I never keep balsamic around and was planning on using distilled or ACV, but that might explain why I have trouble cooking. Not so good at following directions .

Balsamic vinegar is made from grapes. I have never seen one with caramel coloring, but I suppose it is possible.

I originally though all caramel coloring was safe, but it can be made from barley, so you do have to check it before you eat it. See this thread. http://www.celiacforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=2849&highlight=maple+syrup

hey,

I've not tried that recipe to create soy sauce, but, if you have a loblaws or superstore or Fortino's around you, in the organic section, they do have a gluten/wheat free soy sauce called "life soy" and it comes in 3 types.

Hope you like it!

Lachoy and San-jay make gluten free soy sauce (one shoyu, one tamari). It's gluten and soy free that's the trick. I think I do okay with a little shoyu every now and then, but I should make some of this so I can use it without guilt.

FYI, soy protein can interfere with thyroid medications, which is why I avoid it if possible.

I have seen Bal. Vin. that does contain caramel color. I would venture to guess the lower price [ie quality] products do contain it. I also would venture to guess the higher end [true] BV's do not contain caramel coloring I think true BV comes from a certain region in Italy. Modina or something like that.

edit to add google research -

I was worried about the caramel coloring, so I looked for options and found a white balsamic vinegar at Trader Joe's in CA. Just close your eyes, and it's the same thing!
