How-To Make Balsamic Glaze - Video
I make this every couple of weeks and then just leave it in the fridge to use as a dip for raw veggies or drizzled on salad. It's also a great way to add a little zing to some simply grilled fish or chicken. And every now and then if I'm having a little sweet tooth, I'll mix some balsamic glaze with some berries and spoon it over vanilla ice cream:).
I know that often times people will little bit of sugar to balsamic glaze to sweeten it up a bit more, but I find it sweet enough with out the addition of extra sugar. I really like the tangy-sweet-and-sour flavor that it has just the way it is!
How-To Make Balsamic Glaze - Video
Ingredients
2 cups of Balsamic vinegarDirections
Pour vinegar into a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Once you've got a boil, reduce the heat and allow the vinegar to simmer for about 20-30 minutes or until the vingar has become thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (you should have about 1/2 cup of glaze when it's done).
Remove from heat and allow to cool. then just pour it into a container with a lid and pop it in the fridge. It should last you a few weeks.
Makes 1/2 cup.

I created rustic pizzas with this sauce. Sliced whole wheat pitas, thin sliced plum tomatoes, chopped basil, balsamic glaze and shredded mozarella cheese. 3 words DE-LIC-IOUS! Thank you so much.

Really good. Try sauté some onion in a little butter, then add balsamic glaze and a little honey. Use as a steak sauce, it's soooo good.
