Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup bourbon
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the bourbon, low-sodium soy sauce, and honey over medium heat.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar and minced garlic.
Add ground mustard and black pepper, whisking until the mustard is fully dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Simmer the glaze for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the extra virgin olive oil.
Let the glaze cool slightly before using, as it will thicken further upon standing.
Drizzle over your choice of grilled chicken, fish, or roasted vegetables for a heart-healthy meal addition.
