Preparation
Step 1
Pour 1 cup balsamic vinegar into a saucepan and add 1/2 Tbsp honey (if using).
Step 2
Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to keep at a simmer for 12-15 minutes. Stir occasionally until reduced by half and lightly coats the back of a spoon. It will thicken more as it cools.
Step 3
Transfer to a mason jar or air-tight container, let cool to room temperature then refrigerate for 3 to 4 weeks.

Chef's notes
Reduction time depends on the surface area of your saucepan – a larger saucepan will reduce faster.
The recipe makes 1/3 cup of balsamic reduction but is easily scalable. If you choose to double it, it may take longer than 15 minutes to reach the right consistency.
Storing in a glass container is best to preserve the flavor and avoid chemical reactions with the vinegar.
