6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 cups Vegetable Stock (see recipe)
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons white grape juice
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari sauce
Pinch black pepper

2. Bring sauce to a boil. In a small bowl or cup, mix cornstarch with water to make a thin paste. Add to sauce mixture and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. The sauce should not be too thick when hot, as it will thicken as it cools.

3. Allow to cool. Pour into a jar, cover tightly and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
