Notes

HOMEMADE BALSAMIC REDUCTION - in small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring 1 cup balsamic vinegar with 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup* to a boil. Option to omit sweetener. Reduce to simmer for 10-15 minutes, until balsamic has reduced to half and coats back of spoon. Store in jar in fridge about 3-4 weeks.

STORAGE - recipe can be easily prepped the day before. Store in covered container in fridge until ready to serve.
