Directions
- Place both ingredients into a pot and bring the pot to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 20 – 25 minutes or until the mixture has reduced to syrupy consistency.
- Once your balsamic vinegar and sugar have reduced, remove the pot from the heat and transfer your glaze to a container as soon as possible. (Removing the heat stops the glaze from using the residual heat in the pot to continue to reduce and thicken.)

Notes
- I have used granulated sugar in my recipe purely because this is normally readily available in most kitchens but you can also use any brown sugar, syrup or honey in this recipe if you prefer.
