Sure, you can buy a bottle of balsamic reduction (often called a “glaze”) just about anywhere, but prepared reductions often contain hidden sugar, and that’s not cool. Instead, pick up a bottle of good quality balsamic vinegar and make your own Sugar-Free Balsamic Reduction in as little as 15 minutes. Perfect on a caprese salad.

Sugar-Free Balsamic Reduction

• Total Time: 15 minutes
• Yield: 1/2 cup 1x

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 cup good quality balsamic vinegar (yep, that’s it)

Instructions

1. Add balsamic vinegar to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to medium-low and continue to simmer until reduced to about half a cup (15-20 minutes).
2. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. The vinegar will reduce to a glossy black liquid syrup that will thicken a bit more as it cools.
3. Cool completely before using.

Notes

Store up to a month, refrigerated in an airtight glass container.
