Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • Place the balsamic vinegar in a sauce pot and heat over medium high until boiling.
  • Lower the heat so the vinegar maintains a steady simmer. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar is reduced by half. It should be thick, dark in color, and coat the back of the spoon.
  • Use immediately or cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • If you like your reduction to be a little sweeter, feel free to add 1-2 teaspoons of sugar to the vinegar before boiling. You can also stir in honey at the end.
  • This recipe can be doubled if you'd like to have a larger amount on hand.
