Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, unsalted butter, honey, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir consistently until the butter is fully melted and the sugar dissolves completely, about 3-4 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and carefully add the dark rum. Stir well to incorporate.
Let the mixture simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.
Allow the glaze to cool for a few minutes before using it to allow it to thicken further.
Drizzle the warm glaze over your desired dish or store in an airtight container for up to one week, reheating gently before use.
