Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon honey optional
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Combine the balsamic vinegar and honey (if using) in a small saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then lower the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Allow it to reduce for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring intermittently, until the volume is halved and it lightly adheres to the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and let the glaze cool to room temperature.
- Transfer the cooled reduction into a glass mason jar or an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 weeks.
Notes
The time required to reduce will vary depending on the width of your saucepan; a wider base accelerates evaporation.
