Making a balsamic glaze is about the easiest way to create a simple but very elegant meal. Concentrating the vinegar by reducing it intensifies its sweetness. While it is not as good as the much more expensive aged balsamic vinegar, you can have a similar sauce for your roasts or salads at a fraction of the cost.
