Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan and place over medium heat.
- If using, add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer.
- Simmer for about 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar has reduced by half and has a syrupy consistency.
- Remove from heat and let cool. The glaze will thicken further as it cools.
- Transfer to a jar or squeeze bottle for storage.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar, or omit it entirely for a tangier glaze.
- Use a non-reactive saucepan like stainless steel to avoid metallic taste.
