How to Make the Perfect Balsamic Reduction

Step 1

Pour balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan.

Step 2

Turn heat to medium high and bring vinegar to a boil.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce to simmer and let simmer for about 5-7 minutes until vinegar has reduced down. Stir occasionally. {be sure to keep an eye on it because it can burn quickly} You will know it is done if it coats the back of spoon.

Step 4

Remove from heat.

Step 5

Let reduction cool and serve or transfer to an air tight container and store in refrigerator. If reduction hardens after being in refrigerator for too long just place container in a bowl filled with warm water to heat up the reduction.

Step 6

Can be served with a caprese salad, grilled peaches, bread, or whatever you want. You could just drink it if you like… it’s that good! 🙂
