Recipe
Apple & Bourbon Glaze
Ingredients
- 3 cups apple cider
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup apple sauce
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced ginger
- 1/2 stick cinnamon
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise and seeds scraped
- 6 cardamom pods
- 2 teaspoons allspice berries
- 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 3-4 tablespoons Bourbon
Directions
To make the glaze, place all of the ingredients for the glaze except for the Bourbon in a 6-quart pot and cook over medium-high heat. Bring the contents of the pot to a boil, stirring often to dissolve the sugar. Once the mixture has come to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and allow the mixture to reduce to a glaze consistency, about 30 to 35 minutes longer.
Remove the glaze from the stove and strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Stir in the Bourbon, a tablespoon at a time to get the desired flavor and consistency. Reserve until ready to use.
