Balsamic Reduction

An extremely easy way to turn up the pro on your recipes is to make a balsamic reduction. Start with twice the amount of vinegar needed. One cup of vinegar will yield a 1/2 cup of reduction.

Use glass or a non-reactive metal sauce pan like stainless steel. Over medium high heat, allow the vinegar to come to a slow boil. Once it reaches a boiling state, under a watchful eye, continue to slowly boil for about 15 more minutes. Allow to cool and use or refrigerate for later. It's so good, it won't last long.

Drizzle on something and enjoy the complex flavors the reduction imparts.
