Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

from the kitchen of Beth

* 1 Quart (4 cups) Real Maple Syrup; do NOT use Fake

* 3 tbsp. soy sauce

* 4 tbsp. garlic powder

* 6 tbsp. black pepper (ground)

* 1/2 Quart (2 cups) olive oil

* 1/2 Quart (2 cups) balsamic vinegar

In a Blender place the 1 quart maple syrup. Then place the soy sauce, garlic and pepper. Place the balsamic vinegar in the blender. Place approximately 1/2 Quart of Olive Oil into blender. Mix well.

Before serving you might have to blend it again because it might have separated, which in normal with vinaigrettes.

Note: This original recipe is for about 8 cups of the dressing. However, if you would like, it can be made as a smaller amount... be sure to keep the ratio of ingredients the same amount.
