Easy Balsamic Reduction
Using Lesley Elizabeth Aged Balsamic Vinegar or any flavored variety
Ingredients:
- ½ cup Lesley Elizabeth Aged Balsamic Vinegar (or any flavored balsamic vinegar)
Instructions:
- Pour ½ cup of Aged Balsamic Vinegar into a small saucepan.
- Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes.
- Continue simmering until the vinegar has reduced by half and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and let cool. The reduction will continue to thicken as it cools.
Storage Tips:
- Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to several weeks.
- If overcooked and it hardens, reheat gently with a small splash of water to loosen the consistency.
This easy recipe is perfect with roasted chicken, grilled vegetables, caprese salad, or even as a sweet drizzle over vanilla ice cream. Try experimenting with our flavored balsamic vinegars like Fig Balsamic or Strawberry Balsamic for delicious variations!
