Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Balsamic Vinegar Aged, No Additives
  • 1/8 Cup Basil Fresh Leaves, chopped
  • 12 Cherries Fresh or Frozen, Ripe, Sweet, Pitted

Instructions

  • Rinse, dry, and pit the cherries. Cut in half. Rinse, dry, and chop Basil.
  • Add all ingredients to a small pan. Heat on med heat until it reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to med-low and continue to simmer until it is reduced by half. About 2-3 mins. Stir occasionally. Check the reduction by tipping the pan slightly. When it leaves a glaze on the side of the pan and has reduced by half, remove from heat. Press the cherries gently with a spatula to infuse the balsamic with the cherry juice. Stir and refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

A light drizzle of the reduction is all that is needed due to the intense flavor. Do include the cherries with each serving. Mmmmm....
