Basic Balsamic Syrup
A community recipe by JonMcNot tested or verified by Nigella.com
Introduction
I needed a way to jazz up a simple serving of vanilla ice cream. I recalled Alton Brown's comment that many good Balsamic Vinegars are so flavorful and mellow they could be drunk straight from a glass. And they can. I wanted to intensify that flavor and give it sweetness, so that just a little would go a long way.

Additional Information
So far, this syrup has been a voyage of discovery. It is great on vanilla ice cream. Tried it on strawberries with equal delight, as well as a slice of ham. Come the right season, I'll apply it to grilled peaches.
