Ingredients

• 1 cup Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of balsamic vinegar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

Step 2

Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and let it cook uncovered.

Step 5

Keep simmering the mixture for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by half and reaches a syrupy consistency.

Step 6

To test the thickness, dip a spoon into the syrup. If the syrup coats the back of the spoon, it's ready.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the balsamic syrup to cool completely before using.

Step 8

Transfer the cooled syrup to a clean glass jar or bottle. Seal it tightly and store it at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Step 9

Use the balsamic syrup as a flavorful drizzle over salads, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or desserts like vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.
