Balsamic Reduction (Balsamic Syrup)
This thick, glossy syrup has the most wonderful concentrated flavor. Sweet, a little tart, and so great on caprese, over meats and tofu, drizzled on grilled or roasted vegetables, and so much more.
Ingredients
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Pour vinegar into a small saucepan. Place over low heat and bring to a light simmer.
- Simmer for approximately 12 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes, until the mixture just starts to thicken. I test my balsamic reduction by inserting a metal spoon. If it coats the spoon lightly, like cough syrup or pure maple syrup.
- Allow to cool completely (it will thicken as it cools). Transfer to an airtight jar and store in the fridge.
Notes
1 cup of balsamic vinegar yields about 1/2 cup of balsamic reduction.
