Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Canned pineapple juice
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, salt, and black pepper.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the brown sugar dissolves completely.
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering mixture while whisking constantly.
Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the glaze cool slightly.
Brush the glaze liberally over your cooked corned beef or ham before serving. For extra flavor, you can reserve a small amount of glaze to serve on the side as a dipping sauce.
