Honey balsamic sauce is delicious. The balsamic vinegar can be a bit strong, but I just love the tanginess and the flavor. This sauce will also work great with boneless chicken, pork chops, and some seafood, such as salmon, shrimp, and scallops.
If you do not like balsamic vinegar, try this recipe with white, red wine, or apple cider vinegar. I have tried all three combinations and they work, however, balsamic vinegar is my favorite and the one I recommend
