Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Stir until the honey dissolves completely.
Add olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and Dijon mustard to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, and continue to heat until it starts to simmer.
Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly into a glaze-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the glaze cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Use the glaze immediately to baste meats, vegetables, or seafood while grilling, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
