I love a good balsamic reduction over my salad, especially if it has fruit in it. It's one of those things that is well worth the time spent making it, and you also have the opportunity to strengthen your patience, (not one of my strong suits and yes Susie, I know you won't make this, I'll have to make it for you.)
There are many uses for this reduction and I will be sharing recipes in the near future, so make some and it will store for months in your refrigerator, if it lasts months. It doesn't in my house because I also think it is the PERFECT topping for vanilla ice cream, yummy...
BALSAMIC REDUCTION
1 bottle of a good, (not the best, but please not the cheapest) balsamic vinegar
1 TBL sugar
Yes that's all it takes as far as ingredients. Heat this on high at first stirring often. This reduction the closer it gets to the right consistency has a tendency to burn, which means pour it down the drain and start over again. Not fun and it is costly. You need to turn down your burner to medium as soon as the vinegar comes to a boil and you will continue to stir often until it is reduced by half. Let this cool and place in covered jar in the refrigerator until needed.
