I did not put in salt, and it was excellent.
This was fantastic. I made it in a crock pot so I could have it for our 2nd Seder. A hit.
you shall use whatever you like 🙂 seriously both work well and are interchangeable 🙂
In the video you said you were using Riesling wine. In the ingredients it says white wine vinegar. What shall we use?
Hey Terry Paula! I use Earth Balance or coconut oil in place of “margarine.” Of course note that the coconut oil has a distinct flavor but if you like it (which I do 🙂 then you are good to go! (In theory I actually think it would be OK to omit the ingredient entirely.)
Hi Janine in South Africa – you are looking for sweet apple cider (not sweet apple cider vinegar)it’s like apple juice with a slightly spicy, stronger, more concentrated flavor. Just use apple juice – will be excellent. Do not use a sparkling apple drink. enJOY!
Hi Jamie please can you help me? sweet apple cider vinegar i cant find this in South Africa can i use Appletiser which is is apple juice that is sparkling
LOL hysterical!
WOW! This is like a vegan’s dream of killer tzimmis!
Samantha! You are so awesome for letting me know!!!! Thanks and so glad you guys love it.
Just wanted to let you know we made this for Thanksgiving and a couple times after that. My family loves it so much that we are going to have it as a recipe we make every year for Thanksgiving.
I am so happy! and I totally agree! Thanks for posting your (Qs and) comments – so appreciated!
Oh good! I made them and used in between a teaspoon and tablespoon…but next time I’ll use a tablespoon. They came out so delicious! I LOVE the taste of apple cider with veggies. It so sweet and yummy. The orange veggies together are just so pretty and autumn-like. This would be a perfect accompaniment to a turkey!! Definitely going to have this one on the Thanksgiving table!
Oy – sorry about that — the recipe is correct 1 tablespoon — thanks for the catch.
In the video you say a teaspoon of kosher salt but the recipe calls for 1 tablespoon….which is it? Let me know because I want to make this for Thanksgiving.
