BALSAMIC GLAZED FRUIT (MICHAEL CHIARELLO)
Saw this on FoodTV's Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello. Holy cow is this stuff good. I didn't see it posted here yet - hope I didn't overlook it. I tweaked this very slightly (adjusted amounts of fruit) to my own taste.

This is a wonderfully simple and tasty recipe from the Oct/Nov 2004 issue of Cooking Pleasures magazine. It's so good I don't bother making salmon any other way.

BALSAMIC GLAZE
This glaze is a must-have accompaniment to drizzle over fish, poultry, vegetables, pastas, salads, and even fruit. It can turn any dish from ordinary to extraordinary with its perfectly balanced, intense flavor of sweet and tangy. It adds a beautiful, deep pop of color to any dish to create a perfect, professional presentation. I make a large batch and have it on hand in the fridge at all times. Once you start adding this glaze to dishes you will become addicted and crave its intense flavor.
