Servings: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups balsamic vinegar (choose a good quality vinegar)
Instructions
- Heat vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer until reduced by about half and thickened. This may take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes. Keep an eye on it to make sure it's not boiling rapidly, just a low simmer is perfect. As the reduction thickens, stir frequently to make sure it doesn't burn.2 cups balsamic vinegar
- Cool to room temperature. Serve, or pour into desired container, and refrigerate. Makes about 1 cup.

Notes
- Storage: Store in a tightly covered container or jar. A clean recycled jar is fine. Keeps for two to three months in the refrigerator.
- Make it sweeter: Add 2 tablespoons of honey, brown sugar, or granulated sugar to the vinegar. Cook as directed.
- Smaller Batch: If you'd like a smaller batch, simply use 1 cup of vinegar instead of 2. Cook time will decrease.
