Balsamic Cherry Glaze

For my First Recipe post I thought I would start with something simple. My Balsamic Cherry Glaze is something I have made several times and always go back to. Bright with acidity this glaze has a puckering effect that leads you into a fruity body and finishes with a brilliant sweetness. Enjoy!

Balsamic Cherry Glaze:

500ml  Cherry Juice

100 ml   Balsamic Vinegar

100 ml  Honey

Procedure:

In a small sauce pan, combine all ingredients. Bring the glaze to a simmer on medium heat, reduce heat to low and reduce, stirring occasionally. The Glaze is finished when it hold its shape on the back of a spoon or is thickened to your desire. Cool the glaze in an ice bath and transfer to a squeeze bottle or a suitable storage container. 

Pairings:

Pork tenderloin, game fowl, lamb, fruit salad, green vegetables, garden salads, cheese (brie, sharp cheddar, chevre...) figs, plums, peaches, raspberries, and of course vanilla ice cream. These are just suggestions, but I'm sure you will find many other uses for it.

Let me know how you used this beautiful accompaniment in the comments!
