Balsamic Glaze Recipe
Make your own balsamic glaze also known as a balsamic reduction.
Ingredients
- 2 cups balsamic vinegar Remember as a glaze you get almost half the quantity so if you want more use more balsamic vinegar See the notes below.
Instructions
- Bring the balsamic vinegar to a medium boil in a saucepan or skillet with a large enough cooking surface. Don't over fill a small saucepan. Use a large one for quicker and more even results.
- Once it reaches a low boil, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for 15 minutes while you occasionally stir it.
- Remove it from the heat and let it cool before storing in a jar. Balsamic thickens as it stands so don't worry if it looks too thin, remove it, it will thicken.
Notes
Balsamic Vinegar, once simmered will reduce to almost half so the more you use the more glaze you will obviously have. If it's the first time that you are making it then perhaps try a smaller quantity as suggested in the recipe. The more you use it, over time you will find yourself adding it to more and more meals and snacks and you will end up making more on your next batch. When I make balsamic glaze I use the entire bottle which is a 500ml because we use it on just about everything and also it lasts a long time. Glass jar in the fridge.Watch it on the stove so it doesn't burn! If balsamic vinegar burns you can't fix it into a glaze.
