]]> Balsamic vinegar is a great topping for a wide range of foods, especially Italian. It’s delicious mixed with olive oil and drizzled on bread, as a flavoring for roasted veggies, or on a salad among other things. But even more delicious than balsamic vinegar is a balsamic reduction. Reduced balsamic vinegar is sweeter, thicker, and even more versatile than its regular counterpart.

How to Reduce

Reducing balsamic vinegar is a very simple, fairly quick process. Start with some decent quality balsamic vinegar. It doesn’t need to be an expensive brand, but it’s best not to use the cheapest thing available either. That being said, this will work even if you’re on a budget, so don’t stress about it too much.

Take about a cup of balsamic vinegar (or however much you like) and bring it to boil in a pot. Then simmer for around 15-20 minutes depending on how thick you want it. The longer you simmer, the thicker and sweeter the vinegar will be. Keep in mind that it will thicken more as it cools, so be sure to turn off the heat while it’s still a bit thinner than you want it.

Where to Use Balsamic Reduction

You can use your creation pretty much anywhere you like. The top suggestions are on a Caprese salad or bruschetta, but it’s delicious on just about anything. Veggies, bread, grilled fruit, meat, grilled cheese, or anything else you can think of. Enjoy!

Dishes

A small bowl of vinegar in your dishwasher will help clean hard water stains that you can’t rub off by hand. Make sure to put it in the top rack so the machine’s rubber gaskets stay safe.

Freezer

After you clean out your freezer, finish the job with white vinegar and hot water solution. This non-toxic mixture won’t contaminate your food but will effectively clean everything inside the freezer.

Hardwood Floors

Instead of a store-bought hardwood floor cleaner, you can try mixing half a cup of vinegar in a gallon of warm water and use the mixture to mop the floors. This is especially useful when you have kids who roll around the floor all the time; this way, they won’t accidentally swallow any chemicals.

Happy Monday 💚 . During revision meals and snacks basically become my favourite part of the day – breaks up the monotony of sitting at my desk! 😂 Last week I made this insane sandwich ft @strongrootsuk spinach and pumpkin burgers, quick pickled cucumber, greek yoghurt, smashed avo and rocket! 👌🏽👌🏽 . Not only was I craving something exciting, but I also can’t take too much time out from the books, 🤓 so I absolutely LOVE these burgers which I can just grab from the freezer and reheat. Means I can have a lunch as awesome as this ready in 15 minutes and very little washing up to do too! 👌🏽 . Full recipe on my blog!! And what a gorgeous day, let’s hope these blue skies stick around! ✌🏽 . . . #ad #strongroots #vegan #avocado #veggieburgers #simplemeals #veggie #vegansofig #vegetarian #pickles #quickpickledcucumber #burgers #simplefood #quickfood #foodie #justeat #goodfood #speediemeals #intuitiveeating #summerfood #bbqseason #goodnessguru

Poaching Eggs

A glug of vinegar is the secret to mastering the perfect poached egg. After the water comes to a boil, put in the vinegar and carefully drop in the egg. What the vinegar does is that it allows for the egg whites to coagulate while the center remains runny and delicious.

Hot Sauce

Hot peppers and vinegar are the two stars of most homemade hot sauces. Add garlic and salt, blend it all together, and you have homemade delicious hot sauce.
