Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. Add the balsamic vinegar and any sweetener to a small pot.
  2. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally until reduced by half or until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. It will thicken more as it cools.
  3. Use immediately or store in a sealed container in the fridge.

Notes

  • The sauce will thicken as it cools, if it thickens too much, you can stir in a little water to help loosen it up.
  • If the sauce is too thin after cooling, you can heat it back up to thicken it up.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar for the richest flavors. Balsamic vinegar from Modena in Italy is of good quality and a great selection for making balsamico glaze.
  • You don't have to use any sweetener to make the balsamic reduction.
  • Do not leave the saucepan unattended to avoid burning the glaze or overboiling.
