Helpful hints

  • Balsamic vinegar glaze, also called balsamic vinegar reduction, may be purchased or made at home.  For homemade, using a small saucepan bring 1 cup of vinegar to a boil then reduce to medium heat. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes until vinegar is reduced by half or until it reaches your desired consistency. Store extra in a covered container in the refrigerator.
