BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND RED WINE REDUCTION



Balsamic Vinegar and Red Wine Reduction image

This is a great sauce to drizzle over just about anything. I like it particularly with grilled veggies and with tomato/mozzarella salad. Neither the vinegar nor the wine need to be the best quality, yet the reduction will take on a nice quality flavor.
