Balsamic Glaze

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this divine balsamic glaze:

  • 2 cups balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for a vegan version)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Now, let’s get down to the business of making this amazing glaze:

  1. Start by pouring the balsamic vinegar into a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the honey (or maple syrup) and a pinch of salt to the pan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low.
  4. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want it to reduce down to about half its volume and turn syrupy.
  5. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn! If it thickens too much, you can always add a splash of water to loosen it up.
  6. Once it reaches your desired consistency, remove it from heat and let it cool.
  7. After cooling, it will thicken even more, making it perfect for drizzling!

And just like that, you’ve got yourself a fabulous balsamic glaze ready to be enjoyed! Whether you’re drizzling it over fresh veggies, drenching meats, or even adding a touch to fruits like strawberries, the possibilities are endless. Give it a try and watch it become a staple in your kitchen!

Enjoy the cooking, and I can’t wait to hear how it turns out. Happy eating!
