*Balsamic Glaze is not the same thing as balsamic vinegar. Balsamic vinegar is much more runny, tart, and less sweet. If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can easily make it with balsamic vinegar. Simply bring 1 cup of balsamic vinegar to a boil over the stovetop, and let it simmer until the mixture has reduced to 1/4 cup. The liquid will now be much thicker and have a stickier consistency.
