I made Balsamic Glaze a couple of weeks ago, and now I can finally tell you about it. My version is not a traditional balsamic reduction, this is a glaze with red wine and sugar…Yum!!

This image is not doing this yummy Balsamic Glaze justice! It was still warm so it doesn’t show how thick it actually turned out. I wonder if I will ever learn patience? lol

I think Ree Drummond is the one that pours it over her ice cream, I haven’t tried that one yet, lol

This Balsamic Glaze is really simple to prepare, but it will take a bit of time to reduce…and the smell of simmering vinegar may knock you off your feet. 😉

This is so easy, I didn’t even take any photos…shocking, I know. 😉

How to make Balsamic Glaze:

Bring vinegar and wine to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half. {30 minutes or so}

Stir in the brown sugar, cook glaze at a rapid simmer until reduced by half.

Allow to cool before pouring into a glass jar. {We don’t want condensation diluting the glaze}

Glaze will last for months in the refrigerator. Vinegar kills bacteria, so it’s lasts a long time!

Enjoy!!
