When it comes to making anything caprese inspired, you need a good Balsamic Glaze! Balsamic Glaze is made by reducing balsamic vinegar typically by half. Sometimes you may add a sweetener to it, which is how I like to make mine. Drizzle this amazing glaze over a flatbread, pasta dish, salad, skewer, anything caprese inspired! The balsamic flavor will really bring all the elements together! I like to add balsamic to my brussels sprouts or even dunk my garlic bread into it! There are so many ways to incorporate this amazing sauce!
In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar, honey, and sugar to a gentle boil on medium heat.
Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring often.
We want the consistency of the glaze to coat the back of a spoon, and we want to reduce the liquid by half. Once you've reached this consistency, remove from heat and let cool completely. The glaze will thicken as it sits.
Serve glaze with your favorite caprese inspired dishes or anywhere else you see fit! We had it on my Caprese Chicken Sheet Pan recipe!
