Directions
- To a small saucepan, add the balsamic vinegar, and sugar if using, and bring to a boil over high heat. When it starts to boil, reduce the temperature to maintain a simmer.
- Cook the vinegar down, stirring occasionally until it's about a third of the original volume, which should take about 13 - 15 minutes.
- Allow the reduction to cool completely before transferring to a glass jar. The reduction will continue to thicken as it cools. Enjoy!
Storage
- Keep away from direct light in a cool dry area for up to 1 week, or in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

Important not to cook it for too long... I got a balsamic vinegar candy now 😅
So easy!! I have to leave the kitchen while it reduces because the smell is pretty strong, but it's totally worth it!!
Had buying a new bottle on our grocery list, and was watching one of your videos where you included a link. Didn’t realize it was this easy, and I’m never buying some from the store again. Thank you! We used sugar in the raw and it turned out perfectly.
I had no idea it was this simple
So glad to have found out how to do this. I love balsamic reduction.
