Ingredients
– 1 cup balsamic vinegar This forms the base, giving the glaze its rich, tangy taste
– 1/4 cup brown sugar This adds sweetness to balance the acidity
– A pinch of salt This enhances the overall taste and brings out the flavors more
– 1 tablespoon melted butter Optional, adds richness for smoother finish
Instructions
1-Start by combining the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar in a small saucepot, stirring until the sugar dissolves fully. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then lower it to medium-low and keep stirring often as it reduces by half, usually taking around 10 minutes.
2-Once it's off the heat, let it cool to thicken even more, and adjust as needed by simmering longer if it's too thin or adding a bit of water if it's too thick. For storage, pop any leftovers in the fridge where they'll last up to three weeks.

โฐ Remove from heat just before desired thickness as glaze thickens more upon cooling.
