For best results, use high-quality balsamic vinegar. Its flavor will be concentrated as it reduces. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, as this will steam the onions instead of caramelizing them. If necessary, use two baking sheets. The balsamic glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before using.

Nov 21, 2024The onions were a little too tart for my taste. I might add a little sugar to the vinegar reduction next time.
