Ingredients

  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar (a good quality vinegar from Modena or Reggio Emilia)
  • Sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  • Place your balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan on medium heat.
  • Bring to a gentle simmer (do not let it come to a rolling boil as it could easily burn).
  • Stir it continuously until it reduces by half and it starts to thicken into a syrupy glaze.
  • It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (approximately 10-15 minutes).
  • Take it off the heat immediately and allow it to cool.
  • Keep in mind that the glaze will thicken slightly once it cools.
  • Once cool store in a glass jar or bottle.

Notes

  • This recipe makes a total of one cup of balsamic glaze or 16 tablespoons, the nutritional information is also calculated this way.
