Its popularity has grown globally, and it is now a staple in many households. This recipe requires only three ingredients, all of which are readily available in most supermarkets.

Instructions

1.	In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, dark brown sugar, and soy sauce.
2.	Bring the mixture to a simmer on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
3.	Reduce the heat to low and continue simmering until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10-15 minutes.
4.	Use the glaze immediately or let it cool and transfer it to an airtight container for later use.
