Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar For the balsamic vinegar (yields 1 cup) 2 cups balsamic vinegar For the chocolate syrup (yields 1 cup) 1 cup water 1/2 cup sugar 2/3 cup Dutch process cocoa powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla For the balsamic vinegar Reduce the vinegar by half (from 2 cups to 1 cup) over low heat. This will take approximately 20 minutes, stirring often. The vinegar will thicken and coat its pan. Set aside to cool once reduced. If you start with a better balsamic vinegar, you can skip this step and simply use 1 cup of balsamic straight from the bottle. For the chocolate syrup Dissolve sugar and salt into water. Bring to a boil in a small sauce pan. Reduce the heat to low and add cocoa, stirring until a syrup begins to thicken. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Set aside to cool. Once completely cooled, mix the vinegar and chocolate syrup thoroughly and divide among four 4 oz. sterile glass bottles. I corked the bottles shut and hand-printed labels on adhesive strips to stick on over the top of each bottle for gift-giving
