Bourbon Glaze

A quick sweet-savory glaze with bourbon, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Great for pork and chicken.

• 1/2 cup bourbon

• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar, light or dark; do not omit or the glaze will not thicken

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce

• 1 clove minced garlic

• 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

○ In a medium saucepan, combine the bourbon, maple syrup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and apple cider vinegar.

○ Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

○ Continue to simmer rapidly, stirring almost constantly.

○ The mixture will look very active and almost foamy.

○ Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened and reduced by about half, 3 to 5 minutes.

○ Remove from the heat.
