Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup runny balsamic vinegar (or more, depending on desired quantity)
Instructions
- Bring to Boil: Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small, thick-bottomed saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
- Simmer and Reduce: Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Stir frequently and cook until the vinegar has reduced by half, about 10 to 15 minutes. If starting with more than 1 cup, simmer time will be longer. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Cool and Store: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the balsamic reduction cool. Drizzle your glaze as desired. Store any leftover glaze in an airtight jar in the pantry for up to 6 months.
Notes
- Use a thick-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching the vinegar.
- Stir regularly to avoid burning and ensure even reduction.
- The glaze will thicken more as it cools.
- Adjust the cooking time depending on the starting amount of vinegar to get the perfect consistency.
- Store in a cool, dark pantry in an airtight container for best shelf life.
