Balsamic Glaze
Homemade Balsamic Glaze is ridiculously easy to make and so versatile. We love it on salad, steak, chicken, or drizzled over fresh fruit. You'll love the sweet and tangy taste.
Ingredients
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 Tbsp honey, (optional)
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup balsamic vinegar into a saucepan and add 1/2 Tbsp honey (if using).
- Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to keep at a simmer for 12-15 minutes.* Stir occasionally until reduced at least by half. It's done when it lightly coats the back of a spoon. It will thicken more as it cools. Transfer to a mason jar* or air-tight container, let cool to room temperature then refrigerate for 3 to 4 weeks.
Notes
*Reduction time depends on the surface area of your saucepan - a larger saucepan will reduce faster.
*The recipe makes 1/3 cup of balsamic reduction but is easily scalable. If you choose to double it, it may take longer than 15 minutes to reach the right consistency.
*Storing in a glass container is best to preserve the flavor and avoid chemical reactions with the vinegar.
