Notes

Recipe Notes:
  • Do not increase heat to make it cook faster. You do not want to burn the glaze.
  • Balsamic glaze and balsamic reduction are interchangeable terms.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
  • The fumes from the balsamic vinegar can be strong. Use your kitchen fan to vent the fumes while cooking.
  • Balsamic glaze will thicken some when it cools.
