Recipe Tips
- Prepared basil pesto can usually be found in both the canned and refrigerated sections of most grocery stores. For the freshest flavor, purchase the refrigerated pesto.
- Balsamic reduction sauce (also called “drizzle” or “glaze”) is a thicker, sweeter version of balsamic vinegar. You can make it at home by simmering it in a saucepan over medium heat until thick and sticky, or purchase is prepared from most grocery stores.
