Balsamic Glaze
Balsamic vinegar reduced to a thick, glossy glaze. Intensely sweet-sour and deeply complex. A small drizzle transforms grilled vegetables, burrata, strawberries or any grilled veg platter into something that looks and tastes considered.
Balsamic vinegar reduced to a thick, glossy glaze. Intensely sweet-sour and deeply complex, this balsamic glaze brings a quiet depth to simple dishes. A small drizzle over grilled vegetables, burrata, or even fresh strawberries adds a layer of flavour that feels both familiar and refined.
The recipe is straightforward, relying on just two key ingredients: balsamic vinegar and honey. Slowly reducing the vinegar concentrates its natural sweetness and acidity, while a touch of honey softens the sharp edges, creating a balanced glaze that’s versatile and easy to keep on hand. It’s a kitchen technique rather than a BBQ one, but its impact on fire-cooked food is undeniable.
This glaze works because it respects the ingredients it accompanies, enhancing rather than overpowering. It’s a small detail that elevates everyday BBQ, especially when you’re working with homegrown, seasonal produce. The balsamic glaze is a quiet reminder that fire cooking isn’t just about smoke and heat—it’s about layering flavours with care and precision.
