To make a simple Balsamic Glaze combine 1 cup of balsamic vinegar with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until reduced and thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. If the glaze is too thick to use when cool, simply reheat for a few seconds in the microwave. Store extra glaze in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 6 months – it’s great for topping chicken, Parmesan cheese, roasted vegetables, strawberries, or even vanilla ice cream.
