Balsamic Reduction
The perfect finishing touch for Bruschetta, fish, Caprese..the list goes on and on.
Ingredients
- 1 cup organic balsamic vinegar or high quality Italian balsamic
- 1 tbsp organic brown sugar packed *optional
- 2 tbsp dry white wine *optional
Instructions
- Measure vinegar and place into a small sauce pan. Bring to a slow simmer over medium heat whisking every so often. Once vinegar is brought to a simmer, lower the temperature to a med low - low heat. Whisk every so often and simmer until vinegar is reduced by half and flows off of spoon in a steady stream much like syrup.
Notes
-Balsamic reduction can be done at a higher heat which produces much faster results. I prefer simmering at a lower heat for this recipe as it is easy to burn while focusing on other cooking steps. Starting this as the first step will keep the preparation running smoothly.
-Adding brown sugar and wine will give the reduction a deeper flavor and add 10-15 mins extra cooking time.
