Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup bourbon
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger.
Mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium saucepan, combine the bourbon, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, grated ginger, minced garlic, lemon juice, and black pepper.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the honey is fully dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let the glaze simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even thickening.
Remove from heat and allow the glaze to cool slightly. The glaze will continue to thicken as it cools.
Use immediately as a glaze for meats or vegetables, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
