You'll Need:

• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/3 cup brown sugar

Place ingredients into a medium size sauce pan and place over medium heat.  Whisk so the sugar melts.  Once it begins to simmer turn heat to low and allow to gently simmer for 20-25 minutes stirring occasionally.  Once mixture has reduced by about 1/3 remove from heat.  Use immediately or store in the fridge (glaze will get thicker when stored in the fridge).

Here are some uses for the glaze:

• Over any meat
• Over any seafood
• Drizzle on top of pizza with some prosciutto & arugula
• On top of strawberries
• Enhance the flavor of roasted veggies
