Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of balsamic vinegar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and let it cook uncovered.
Keep simmering the mixture for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by half and reaches a syrupy consistency.
To test the thickness, dip a spoon into the syrup. If the syrup coats the back of the spoon, it's ready.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the balsamic syrup to cool completely before using.
Transfer the cooled syrup to a clean glass jar or bottle. Seal it tightly and store it at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Use the balsamic syrup as a flavorful drizzle over salads, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or desserts like vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.
