Balsamic Orange-Rosemary Glaze

1. Combine and Simmer Ingredients

Start by combining the balsamic vinegar, fresh orange juice, minced shallot, and the rosemary sprig in a small saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a heat-resistant rubber spatula. You'll know it's ready when the liquid has reduced to approximately 3 tablespoons.

2. Incorporate Butter

Once the liquid has reduced, take your very cold unsalted butter and add it to the saucepan. Using a whisk, fork, or wooden spoon, stir the butter into the reduced liquid until it has fully melted and the sauce has a glossy finish. If the sauce needs a bit more body, you can add an additional 0.5 tablespoon of cold butter.

3. Season with Salt

Finally, season the glaze with kosher salt to taste. Give it a quick stir to ensure the salt is evenly distributed. Your Balsamic Orange-Rosemary Glaze is now ready to elevate your dish with its rich and vibrant flavors.
