Ingredients
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar

Instructions
- In a medium size shallow saucepan combine the balsamic vinegar, coconut sugar, citrus juice and the citrus zest and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half, around 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle over the gelatin while stirring and set aside to cool.

Notes
* For a white balsamic reduction replace sugar with honey or maple syrup. I also recommend to use red or yellow-colored fruits for this variation.
** You can use orange, lemon, lime (or a mixture of citrus fruits) for juicing and zesting.
*** Feel free to replace citrus zest with a few drops of citrus-flavored extracts.
Variations: Omit orange juice and add 1 cup of your favorite berries. As soon as the reduction is ready, run it through a sieve to remove pulp.
