Ingredients

  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar optional, for a sweeter glaze

Instructions

  • Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan. Add the honey or brown sugar, if using.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to keep it at a low simmer. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze is reduced by half and lightly coats the back of a spoon.
  • Let cool. The balsamic reduction will thicken up more as it cools. Serve as desired. You can drizzle it over a Caprese salad, grilled or roasted vegetables, chicken, salmon, pork tenderloin, fresh fruit etc.

Notes

  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar for best results.
  • Glaze can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
