Insalata Caprese (Or Caprese Salad) With Balsamic Reduction

• 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4-inch thick
• fresh basil, chopped
• 12 cup balsamic vinegar
• 12 tablespoon sugar

1. Set out tomatoes and cheese (I like them to be room temperature, just personal preference).
2. Stir balsamic vinegar and sugar together in a small, heavy saucepan.
3. (I'm sure you could substitute some other form of sweetener, but I've never tried it).
4. Bring to boiling over med-high heat; simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. While reducing vinegar, cut up other ingredients and arrange nicely on a plate.
6. Drizzle with balsamic reduction.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
