Description
Fresh cherry balsamic glaze is a vibrant and flavorful sauce that transforms your dishes into culinary delights. Combining sweet, ripe cherries with rich balsamic vinegar creates a sticky, glossy glaze that perfectly complements grilled meats, salads, and even desserts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cherries (pitted and halved)
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Wash the fresh cherries thoroughly, remove the pits, and slice them in half.
- In a medium saucepan, combine halved cherries, balsamic vinegar, honey or maple syrup, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat over medium heat until the mixture simmers gently. Stir occasionally for about 15-20 minutes until it thickens to a syrupy consistency.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly; the glaze will thicken further as it cools.
- Drizzle over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or desserts as desired.
