Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar high-quality recommended
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar for sweetness

Instructions

Instructions

  • Step 1: Combine Ingredients - In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of balsamic vinegar and 3 tablespoons of brown sugar. Stir well to mix the sugar into the vinegar.
  • Step 2: Heat the Mixture - Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the sugar completely.
  • Step 3: Reduce the Heat - Once it reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to low. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Step 4: Check Consistency - After 15-20 minutes, check the consistency of your glaze. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Step 5: Cool and Store - Once you’ve achieved the desired thickness, remove the saucepan from heat. Allow the balsamic glaze to cool before transferring it to a glass jar or bottle for storage.
