Ingredients

• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, pour 1 cup of balsamic vinegar.

Step 2

If you prefer a sweeter reduction, add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the saucepan.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture lightly to combine.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low to allow it to simmer.

Step 5

Allow the vinegar to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced by half and coats the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the reduction cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness with a small amount of additional sugar, if desired.

Step 8

Transfer the balsamic reduction to a heat-safe, airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
