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

Ingredients

Instructions
- 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).

- Cool completely before using.
