Notes
To make a balsamic reduction-pour 1 cup of balsamic vinegar and 1/8 cup of brown sugar into a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until balsamic is reduced into a syrup like consistency, about 10 to 15 minutes. Watch closely and stir occasionally. Burning this will stink the house up!
