Optional: Balsamic Glaze
Heat balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar to the pan and heat together.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar thickens and is reduced to about 1/2 cup (about 8 - 10 minutes). It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before serving (about 15 minutes).
