Ingredients

8 -12 large garlic cloves, cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch dice (no smaller)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (fruity)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
6 -7 tablespoons high-quality commercial balsamic vinegar
4 -5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

Directions

1

In a medium skillet combine garlic, oil and some salt and pepper. Cook over medium low until garlic is soft and very light. (If it darkens, it will turn bitter. Throw everything away and start again.) Add the vinegars and sugar. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes.
2

Taste by cooling a sample first (it will be very hot), and seeing if there's soft acidity and good sweet/tart balance. If too, acid, continue simmering. If acid is lacking, add a little more vinegar.
3

Remove from heat, cover and hold until shortly before serving (up to 3 hours). Taste again, adjusting seasonings if necessary.
4

Heat up and spoon over salad.
