Balsamic Reduction Sauce

Make your own balsamic reduction sauce at home. Use high quality balsamic for best taste.


Serves: 1-2 tablespoons
Prep Time: 0 min
Cooking Time: 8-10 min
Total:  10 min

Ingredients
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (use a balsamic vinegar without added caramel or sugar)

Directions
  1. Heat a thick bottom sauce pan or frying pan on medium until it is hot.
  2. Add balsamic vinegar.
  3. Let vinegar bubble for a 8-10 minutes, or until it has reduced by half or three quarters.  The longer you cook it, the more syrupy and sweeter it will become.  Be careful not to burn the reduction as it gets thicker.
  4. Dip baguette pieces in balsamic reduction and extra virgin olive oil, drizzle over a salad, or decorate a plated main dish.
  5. Can be covered and refrigerated for 3-4 weeks.
