Balsamic Reduction

karen Leave a Comment

3/4 cup balsamic vinegar.

1 to 2 TBSP brown Sugar optional.

 

Combine and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to medium low  and continue to gently boil for 15 to 20 minutes until it begins to thicken.  The volume should reduce to 1/4 to 1/2 the amount.  When the back of a spoon is coated then you will know it’s finished.  You can also save the leftovers to use at another time!

 

 

Make sure that use authentic balsamic vinegar.  It should have a foil cover and seal as approved by the European Union.  Do not buy the very expensive extra aged.. those are meant for finishing, not to be boiled.  I prefer the Modena variety.
