How to Fix a Sweet Taste in Stews
- 1). Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. The acidity of the vinegar will offset some of the sweetness. Continue to stir the stew on a low heat for one minute until the vinegar is well-blended.
- 2). Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive or butter. Fatty ingredients will cut the sweet flavor.
- 3). Ladle individual servings of stew into bowls. Squeeze a wedge of lemon over each bowl. The lemon's natural acidity will brighten the flavor and hide the sweetness.
