Tips for Making This Recipe
Store-Bought Balsamic Glaze / Reduction:
Balsamic glaze is a wonderful ingredient that can be found in the condiment aisle of many supermarkets. A little goes a long way and it's delicious drizzled over all sorts of meats and veggies.How to Make A Balsamic Glaze / Reduction:
A balsamic reduction is very easy to make and keeps safely in the refrigerator for at least a month. Place 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar in small saucepan and bring to a slow simmer over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the consistency of maple syrup. You should have about 1/3 cup. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely before serving. The glaze will thicken a little more as it cools. Have you made this recipe?Snap a photo and tag @gourmetconnect in your posts. We love to see what you’ve been making!
