Balsamic Glaze
Two-ingredient balsamic glaze made by simmering balsamic vinegar with a little brown sugar until thick and glossy. Drizzle it on chicken, roasted veggies, caprese salad, or strawberries — it keeps in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
Servings: 8
Cost: $2.32, $0.29 per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to a small saucepan.
- Whisk over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer 15–20 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until reduced by about half and the glaze coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from the heat and let cool 10–15 minutes; it will thicken as it cools.
- Serve, or refrigerate in a glass jar for up to 3–4 weeks.
Notes
- Makes about ½ cup (8 tablespoons).
- Pull the glaze off the heat while it’s still pourable, like warm maple syrup. If it gets too thick, stir in water 1 teaspoon at a time over low heat.
- Store leftovers in a glass container to help preserve the flavor.
