Balsamic Glaze

  1. In a sauce pan place 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar over medium heat, bring to a simmer and continue simmering for 5-6 minutes until it is reduced by half.

    Remove from heat and pour into a small bowl. Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.

    Reduce balsamic vinegar on the stove top to create a thick balsamic reduction

Bruschetta

  1. Dice tomatoes finely and place on paper towels to get rid of some of the juices.

  2. Finely chop the red onion, garlic and basil and mix together with tomatoes in a bowl. Add salt, pepper and olive oil and stir to combine.
