From Scratch Maple Balsamic Glaze Recipe Overview

This Maple Balsamic Glaze recipe is quite easy for anyone to make in just a few steps! After prepping your ingredients, simmer over medium heat for just a few minutes. Add oil and butter to thicken, and you’ll have a great Maple Balsamic Glaze that adds a sweet and savory element to any dish.

Tools to Make Maple Glaze from Scratch

This recipe only requires a few specialty tools to cook. Most importantly, you’ll need a sieve to remove any extra solids from the glaze before you serve. If you don’t have a sieve, don’t worry! You can still serve this dish without filtering, although you’ll want to make sure your garlic and spices are very finely minced.
