Ingredients
Method
- Add 1 cup balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
- Once the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow to simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from the heat and set aside to cool before serving.
- Store in an airtight container, like a jar or bottle, in the fridge for up to one month.
Notes
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar for the best flavor; the better the vinegar, the better the glaze. Cheaper vinegars can be too acidic and lack the nuanced sweetness needed.
- Watch the heat carefully to prevent burning the sugar, which can happen quickly. A gentle simmer is key to a smooth reduction.
- For a perfect consistency, cool completely. The balsamic glaze will thicken significantly as it cools. If it becomes too thick, warm it gently with a splash of water or more vinegar.
