How to make a balsamic reduction
If you ever dine out, then I’m sure you’ve had a dish somewhere along the way that is served with a balsamic reduction lightly drizzled on top. It sounds fancy. It tastes wonderful. It is very versatile. I love it. It seems like a bit of an indulgence but it is super easy to make.
How to make a balsamic reduction:
Pour 1 cup of balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of sugar into a sauce pan. Bring to a slight boil and immediately reduce heat to low. Let the vinegar reduce for about 20 minutes and remove from heat. Let cool and the vinegar will be a lot like a nice thick syrup. You can drip, drizzle, smear, or glaze the reduction on whatever you think it will taste good.

Don’t want to make your own – you can buy balsamic reductions in the store and on-line as well. They last in the fridge for a long time and easy to pull out whenever you want a sweet and tangy addition to your food.
