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.
