Making my own balsamic glaze

I loveeee a good balsamic glaze.  Today, when I got home from the grocery store, where I bought fresh mozzarella, basil and tomatoes, I realized that I left MY balsamic glaze at work in my lunch bag!  Ahh!  This is a crucial ingredient to my idea of a delicious Caprese salad. 

I realized that I did have regular balsamic vinegar and thought:  why can't I make a reduction myself?  Exactly!  I can!

So, I looked up a quick recipe on All Recipes and it basically just said to put 1 cup of balsamic vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey, boil it, lower the temperature and wait about 10-15 minutes until it reduces to 1/3 of a cup. 

Caprese salad is served.
