Add the balsamic vinegar and fig preserves to a small saucepan.
Whisk it together until it is mixed well.
Heat it over medium-high heat until it begins to gently simmer. Reduce the heat to low and allow it to slowly simmer until it has reduced by at least half. The glaze should coat the back of a cold spoon.
Allow the glaze to completely cool before storing. Use on salads, roasts, pizza and more!
Notes
Tips:
You can use a fine mesh sieve to strain the seeds if you want the glaze to be perfectly smooth.
If your glaze thickens too much after cooling, simply warm it gently on the stove with a small amount of water to reach your desired consistency.
Storage: Store your balsamic fig glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
