  • Learn how to make your own Balsamic Vinegar Reduction at home! Balsamic Vinegar Reduction is a simple sauce that can elevate a dish to the next level, and it’s so easy to make at home! It only takes one ingredient and just a little time to create this sweet, tangy, syrupy sauce.
    BALSAMIC VINEGAR REDUCTION INGREDIENTS
    - 2 Cups Balsamic Vinegar (Don't buy expensive Balsamic Vinegar)
    HOW TO MAKE BALSAMIC VINEGAR REDUCTION
    Making your own Balsamic Reduction is SO EASY. Simply simmer balsamic vinegar until it thickens. That’s it!
    1. Heat vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer until reduced by about half and thickened. You can stir it occasionally but just keep an eye on it to make sure it's not boiling rapidly. If the pan is too hot it will burn on the bottom.
    2. Remove from heat and let cool. You can store refrigerated for up to a month.

    A good technique to enhance "less expensive" Balsamic vinegar. Just a picky note: if your aim is for evaporation, reduction, then choose a vessel with shorter sides. Results the same only a time difference Sorry I brought it up. Thanks

    Thank you. I am making this to add onto roasted Brussels sprouts. Yum! With the price of everything these days, I am learning to make my own sauces now. Also, this is excellent on strawberries!!! This is so much fun. Makes me feel like a real chef. Lol. Can you give an overall guesstimated time? About 30-40 min? For the smell turn on the overhead fan if you have one. It helps.

    Nice trick and it's great with strawberries! I cooked mine outside on a portable electric stove, very slowly without boiling it. Its lovely, and one more good reason to own a small outside stove for things that evaporate a lot, or smell strongly.

    I have a pretty expensive bottle (50 Euro) from Italy itself (bought it at the vineyard). They even have aged balsamic vinegar from 20 years old. But I would love to use it for this, but it’s kinda bad for the price I paid it for. It’s in a bottle u opened and basically it stays good for forever. However… does that change if I make a reduction?

  • @grantritchey7509
    @grantritchey7509 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Now, having read some comments. DO NOT use expensive balsamic vinegar for this. The B. V. we get here in the states is a sort of fake BV.. From Italy it comes from a specific area and is highly regulated. It is aged (I've forgotten the minimum time, but the Good stuff starts at about 10 ten years) Scott, I think, is talking about US BV. I could be wrong.

    • @ScottDawson
      @ScottDawson  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good question! Reduction is not technically thickening something but heating it to reduce the amount. You aren't adding a thickening agent (ie. flour or cornstarch) to thicken the Balsamic Vinegar but just simmering it to a thicker consistency.
