Notes

*to make balsamic reduction, measure 1 cup of high quality balsamic vinegar into a small sauce pan and bring to a slow simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, turn down to low and let it continue to simmer and reduce to about half. It will thicken up as it cools. Store in an airtight container.
