Quick Balsamic Syrup Recipe
If you can’t find balsamic syrup at your grocery store, follow this simple recipe:
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar
Combine vinegar and sugar in a small skillet over medium high heat with a wood spatula constantly stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. The syrup is ready when the spatula leaves a path as you run it along the bottom of the skillet. Take off the heat and cool before using. Keeps in a sealed jar in refrigerator for about a month.
