Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or sugar free maple syrup
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pure bourbon whiskey (see blog about gluten free)
- 1 Tablespoon orange juice or 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Optional pinch nutmeg
- Kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the maple syrup, coconut sugar, bourbon, orange juice, ginger, and optional nutmeg over medium heat. Bring to a light (soft) boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20-30 minutes or until the glaze thickens into a syrup-like consistency. Note – Taste sauce halfway through simmering, adjust seasoning with kosher salt, if desired. (see notes to if sauce needs thickening).Â
- Use as desired on salmon, pork or on desserts (see notes).
- Store the cooled glaze in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
Notes
Cooking Tips – If the glaze is not thick enough after simmering for 20 to 30 minutes, whisk in 1/2 teaspoon arrowroot powder or cornstarch. It will thicken as it cools.
Dessert Tips – To use as a dessert sauce, add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the finished sauce.
