What is it?
Balsamic glaze is simply balsamic vinegar that’s been boiled down to a sticky, honey-like consistency. It’s a quick way to add a tangy-sweet finish to both sweet and savory dishes. It can be found in well-stocked supermarkets near the vinegars.
Don’t have it?
You can make it yourself by simmering balsamic vinegar over medium-low heat (watch it closely so it doesn’t scorch).
