- 2 cups balsamic vinegar
- 1-2 tbsp honey or brown sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan. For more mellow sweetness, you can add 1-2 tbsp of honey or brown sugar.
- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the vinegar up to a simmer, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
- Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Allow the vinegar to simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30-60 minutes. As the vinegar reduces, it will gradually thicken into a syrupy glaze. When it coats the back of the spoon and has reduced to about 1/2 to 1/4 of its original volume, it is ready.
- Remove the glaze from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature. Transfer the balsamic glaze to a heat-proof container or jar. Use, or seal and refrigerate the glaze. It will keep for several months when stored properly in the refrigerator.

For a thicker glaze, reduce longer. Keep in mind, it will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
