Keyword: balsamic glaze, pizza garnish
Makes: 0.25 cup (or up to .5 cup)
Cost: $5
1 Small saucepan
1 whisk or wooden spoon
- 1 cup commercial-grade balsamic vinegar (the thinner, more liquidy kind)
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.
