A balsamic reduction is a simple yet transformative ingredient made by simmering balsamic vinegar in a pan until it thickens and some of the liquid evaporates. The process of reducing the vinegar intensifies its flavor, turning it into a rich, syrupy glaze that can enhance a wide variety of dishes. The result is a sweet, concentrated version of balsamic vinegar that’s perfect for drizzling over everything from salads to roasted vegetables, meats, or even desserts. It’s a quick, easy way to add depth and elegance to your meals—and Chef Tom is going to show you how to make it!
