Serves 8

Ingredients

Fresh raspberries
1 cup, rinsed
Balsamic vinegar
1 cup
Honey
1/4 cup
Cornstarch
1 tablespoon
Water
2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Stir gently to combine.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to help break down the raspberries and release their juices.
  3. While the raspberry mixture simmers, whisk together the cornstarch and water in a separate bowl until smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan while stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
  5. Continue to cook the glaze for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency. If you prefer a thinner glaze, remove it from heat sooner.
  6. Once thickened, take the glaze off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
  7. For a smooth finish, strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any seeds, using a spatula to press out as much liquid as possible.
  8. Transfer the strained glaze to a jar or container and refrigerate until ready to use. This glaze can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine or a pinch of salt to the glaze while it's cooking.
  • 💡 Experiment with different sweeteners like maple syrup or agave nectar if you're looking for alternatives to honey.
  • 💡 This glaze pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, salmon, or as a vibrant topping for goat cheese crostini.
