Balsamic reduction

A drizzle of balsamic reduction is an easy way to bring flavor to an weeknight meal or add an extra dimension to a red wine-based sauce. Most grocery stores carry pre-made balsamic reduction now, which is great to have on hand to squeeze over a chicken breast for a quick but yummy dinner. Don't have the pre-made stuff in the pantry? Try making your own!

Cover the bottom of an 8-inch pan with balsamic vinegar. Do not leave the pot unattended - the vinegar can burn quickly. Reduce on low heat until thickened. Off heat swirl in 2T butter.
