Tip-sy Tuesday: how to make Balsamic Reduction

Have you tried balsamic reduction? I'm addicted and put it on everything - it's great drizzled over salads, vegetables, around grilled halibut stacks; another one of my favorite things is to slice an avocado in half and fill the cavity with halved cherry tomatoes, then fill up the hole with balsamic reduction - yum!

You can purchase balsamic already reduced into a thick tangy syrupy glaze but it's simple to make at home: put some balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer and let it cook down until it's reduced by at least half. That's it!

Just thinking about this is making my mouth water - really, ya' gotta try it!
