Add cloves to a small saucepan and cover with water. Add salt and bring to a boil. After 3 minutes of boiling, drain and blot dry on a paper towel (boiling reduces the strong 'bite' of the garlic).

In a small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and add garlic. Sauté for about 4 minutes or until lightly golden.

Add balsamic and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and simmer uncovered for 12 minutes until reduced by half.

Stir in remaining ingredients.
