Pour the balsamic vinegar into a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring to a Boil
Let the mixture come to a gentle boil, making sure to keep stirring so it doesn’t burn.
Simmer and Reduce
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently. Keep simmering and stirring until the liquid has reduced by about half and the glaze coats the back of a spoon. This usually takes around 20 minutes but watch carefully as thickness can vary.
Cool and Store
Remove from heat and allow the glaze to cool. It will thicken more as it cools. Pour it into a jar with a lid and store it in the refrigerator.
