Notes
Keeps for 3 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
*Also known as balsamic glaze, balsamic reduction is a ready-to-use product with a syrupy texture and slightly sweet taste. You can find it in most grocery stores, usually near the vinegars or oils. If unavailable, a simple drizzle of regular balsamic vinegar will do the trick.
