½ cup balsamic vinegar

Directions - Place all ingredients in a small saucepot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until syrupy and reduced by one third. Several factors can vary the cooking time (i.e. type of pot, brand of balsamic) so use your best judgment and keep a close eye on it at the 25 minute mark. Turn off the heat and let the pot sit to cool on stove for approximately 20 minutes. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
