Ingredients for Balsamic Syrup Over Strawberries

• Balsamic Vinegar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Strawberry

How to Make Balsamic Syrup Over Strawberries

1. Combine 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a small, non-reactive saucepan.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced to a syrupy consistency and coats the back of a spoon (approximately 1/2 cup).
4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
5. Allow the glaze to cool completely. This will help it thicken further. You can speed up this process by placing the saucepan in an ice bath.
6. Drizzle the balsamic glaze generously over fresh strawberries, other berries, or your favorite melon. It also makes a fantastic topping for ice cream or pound cake!
7. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
