Notes
The balsamic glaze is a concentrated version of balsamic vinegar with a sweeter and more complex flavour profile. I don’t recommend to substitute with anything else but if you don’t have any, you can make your own with simple balsamic vinegar.
Just boil 2 cups (or more) balsamic vinegar until it reduces and becomes a thick and syrupy sauce. You can add a bit of maple syrup as well, then store in a glass container.
