Total Time15 minutes
Course: Condiment
Cuisine: American, Italian, Mediterranean
Keyword: balsamic glaze, pizza garnish
Makes: 0.25 cup (or up to .5 cup)
Cost: $5

Equipment

  • 1 Small saucepan
  • 1 whisk or wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 cup commercial-grade balsamic vinegar (the thinner, more liquidy kind)

Instructions

  • Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan and place it over medium-high heat.
  • Bring the vinegar to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer (bubble gently) for 15 to 20 minutes or until it coats the back of a spoon and has reduced by at least half. The glaze will thicken up more as it cools.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the glaze cool to room temperature before using. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
