Ingredients
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, pour 1 cup of balsamic vinegar.
Step 2
If you prefer a sweeter reduction, add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the saucepan.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture lightly to combine.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low to allow it to simmer.
Step 5
Allow the vinegar to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced by half and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the reduction cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 7
Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness with a small amount of additional sugar, if desired.
Step 8
Transfer the balsamic reduction to a heat-safe, airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
