Ingredients
Scale

- 2 tablespoons
Balsamic Glaze:
Brown Sugar (optional):
Instructions
- Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan: Set it over medium heat. If using brown sugar, whisk it in until fully dissolved.
- Bring mixture to a gentle boil: Reduce heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces by about half and has a syrupy consistency. This usually takes 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it cool: It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
- Transfer to a jar or bottle and store: Keep it in the refrigerator for up to a month.
Notes
- For a naturally sweet glaze, omit the sugar if your vinegar is already sweet and aged.
- Use this glaze over roasted vegetables, grilled meats, fresh strawberries, or caprese salad.
