If that bottle of balsamic vinegar is sitting on your shelf waiting to be used the next time you make a salad, it’s probably getting kinda lonely. Good news, this recipe will bring that bottle out of hiding and open your taste buds to a whole new world of balsamic vinegar.
Balsamic vinegar isn’t just for salad dressing anymore. With so many different kinds of balsamic available these days, it’s now being used to make ice creams, sorbets, even as mixers for cocktails. It’s also being used to make glazes for fish, chicken, and beef. Balsamic glazes, like this one from Bon Appétit® Magazine, bring a sweet, tart flavor to an otherwise salty protein.
