In their book Kitchen Hacks, America’s Text Kitchen shares a clever trick you’ll want to remember the next time you’re having a dinner party. Take a 1/3 cup of cheap balsamic vinegar, add about a tablespoon of sugar and a tablespoon of port, then reduce it in a saucepan until it thickens up. You’ll have a mixture that tastes almost identical to the real thing, and you’ll save yourself some serious money.
