This balsamic glaze is a must-have accompaniment to drizzle over fish, poultry, vegetables, pasta, salads, and even fruit. It can turn any dish from ordinary to extraordinary with its perfectly balanced, intense flavor of sweet and tangy. It adds a beautiful, deep pop of color to any dish to create a perfect, professional presentation. I make a large batch and have it on hand in the fridge at all times. Once you start adding this balsamic glaze to dishes you will become addicted and crave its intense flavor.

Ingredients

2 cups balsamic vinegar
½ cup brown sugar

Directions

Mix balsamic vinegar with brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer until glaze is reduced by half and coats the back of a spoon, about 20 minutes.
Let cool, then pour into a lidded jar. Seal and store in the refrigerator.

Cook's Note:

Substitute raspberry or any other flavored balsamic vinegar to suit your taste. Or, instead of brown sugar, substitute molasses, honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. The flavor is intense and should be used as a drizzle. Some of my favorite ways to serve it are with gorgonzola cheese and green onions, on pasta or portobello mushrooms, on grilled beets and carrots, with salmon or pork, or as a dressing on a salad with toasted nuts, dried cranberries, or fresh strawberries.
