Heat grill to High Heat (be sure you've properly seasoned your grill before starting). Place a medium saucepan on the grill and add the 1 cup balsamic vinegar plus the honey to the saucepan and stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium/low. Cook for 10-20 minutes or until Balsamic Reduction is thickened to your liking. Set aside. Increase grill heat back up to Medium/High.
