Italian Balsamic Glaze Recipe

Italian · Condiment · 17 min total

A thick, sweet-and-sour reduction of balsamic vinegar that adds a gourmet touch to salads, meats, cheeses, and even desserts. This homemade version is simple to make and far superior to store-bought.

Ingredients

• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and honey.
2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves.
3. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced by half and coats the back of a spoon, about 12-15 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and let cool completely; the glaze will thicken further as it cools.
5. Transfer to a glass jar or squeeze bottle and store at room temperature.

Tips

• Use a good quality balsamic vinegar for best flavor.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
• Drizzle over caprese salad, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or vanilla ice cream.
