Balsamic reduction

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup balsamic vinegar

Directions

  1. Put vinegar into an unheated, small saucepan.
  2. Turn heat to medium and allow the vinegar to come to a boil.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 20 minutes to an hour (Note 1) stirring and scraping the sides every few minutes until thickened.

Notes

  1. The longer you simmer the vinegar, the thicker it will be. A super thick reduction is great for drizzling over fries like the recipe on page 17. A thinner reduction is great to pack flavour into soups or serve with fresh tomatoes.
