Make your own balsamic glaze, also known as balsamic reduction, with this simple recipe! It’s easy to make with regular balsamic vinegar. Use a minimum of 1 cup vinegar for this recipe—it will yield half as much balsamic glaze (if you start with 1 cup vinegar, this recipe will yield 1/2 cup balsamic glaze).

Ingredients
- 1 cup (or more) runny balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Bring the vinegar to a boil in a small, thick bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring often, until the vinegar is reduced by half, about 10 to 15 minutes (or considerably longer if starting with more than 1 cup vinegar). You will likely need to dial down the heat over time.
- Allow the reduction to cool. Drizzle as desired! Transfer leftover glaze to an air-tight jar and store in the pantry for up to 6 months.
