Balsamic Glaze can make even the simplest of foods indulgent and extravagant. I love to drizzle it over salads, fresh fruit, pizza, grilled meats, ice cream, yoghurt bowls. The options are truly endless!

Equipment
- 1 medium saucepan
- 1 mason jar or jar with tight fitting lid
- 1 whisk
Ingredients
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar best quality you have; I used a Fig Balsamic
- 2 tbsp brown sugar may sub honey or granulated sugar
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup of balsamic vinegar into a small or medium saucepan, and stir in the honey or brown sugar. Keep in mind the reduction time will depend on the surface area of your saucepan. Using a larger saucepan will reduce the vinegar at a faster pace. I prefer to use a small saucepan and stir occasionally.
- Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to keep at a simmer for 12-15 minutes. Stir occasionally until reduced by half and glaze coats the back of a spoon. The Balsamic Glaze will thicken as it cools.
- Transfer to a mason jar or container with a tight fitting lid; allow to cool completely before putting in the fridge.
- Balsamic glaze will keep in the fridge for 3 weeks up to a month.
