Bourbon Cider Glaze Sauce Recipes

MAPLE BOURBON GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 mins until the glaze reaches a syrupy consistency.
• Use right away or store in a glass jar. Will last at least 2 weeks tightly sealed in the refrigerator.

BOURBON GLAZE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine bourbon, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Use to baste meat, especially chicken or salmon, while cooking.

SUNNY'S APPLE-BOURBON HAM GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• To make the glaze, add the apple cider, brown sugar, bourbon, pumpkin pie spice and cloves to a large pot. Turn the heat to medium high and cook, while stirring, until the liquid reduces and becomes slightly thickened like a glaze, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the butter and stir to melt. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Lay out plenty of aluminum foil to wrap the ham in and create a bed for it. Place the ham in the center of the aluminum foil and pull the sides up around it, leaving the top exposed. Pour over half the glaze, getting it into the spirals. Finish tightly wrapping the ham and place it on a rack in a roasting pan. Fill the pan with water, but do not let it touch the bottom of the ham.
• Cook until the internal temperature reaches about 140 degrees F (gauge 15 to 20 minutes per pound). Remember, it is already cooked, so you just need to bring it to temperature without drying it out.
• Remove the ham and raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Pull back the aluminum foil (watch out--it's steamy and hot!!). With a brush and the remaining glaze, slather the top of the ham, allowing the glaze to get into any creases of the spiral you see. Place back in the oven uncovered but still sitting in the foil and roasting pan, an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and rest 10 minutes before serving.

BOURBON APPLE CIDER AND HONEY GLAZED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Stir apple cider, honey, cider vinegar, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low, stirring often, until the mixture reduces to 2/3 cup, about 20 minutes.
• Simmer 1/3 cup whiskey in a separate small saucepan over medium-low heat until steam no longer smells of alcohol, about 10 minutes; stir into the apple cider mixture. Reduce this mixture to 1/2 cup, forming an apple cider glaze and cool.
• Stir 3 tablespoons whiskey into apple cider glaze.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place pork chops into a baking dish; brush with the apple cider glaze.
• Bake chops in the preheated oven, basting them often with glaze, until tender, about 1 hour. If desired, bring any remaining glaze to a boil in a saucepan and drizzle over chops to serve.
