Brown Sugar Rum Glaze Recipes

ANNETTE'S GREAT HAM GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, butter, rum, molasses, mustard, and cider vinegar in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring constantly, until sugar has melted and the glaze has thickened, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

RUM CAKE WITH A BUTTER RUM GLAZE

Steps:

• Prepare the cake pan by misting with vegetable oil and placing pecans in bottom of bundt pan if desired. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, 1.3 cup of rum, water, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are just incorporated (about 30 seconds). Stop mixing and scrape down the sides of the bowl with rubber spatula.
• Increase the speed of the machine to medium and beat the batter until smooth (1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer).
• Pour batter into prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
• Place cake in oven and bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed with finger. Approximately 40 to 45 minutes.
• While the cake is baking, make the buttered rum glaze. Place butter in small sauce pan over low heat and stir until melted. Add the brown sugar and 3 tbsp of rum and stir to combine. Cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils and thickens (approx 3 minutes). Remove from heat and let the glaze cool.
• Transfer the Bundt pan to a wire rack and let cake cook for 10 minutes. The gently shake the pan and invert it on a wire rack to cool. Let cool. Cool for at least 10 minutes.
• Using wooden skewers ( I use toothpicks), poke a dozen holes in the top of the cake and very slowly pour over warm cake so that the glaze can soak into the cake.
• Store this cake in a cake saver at room temp for up to 3 days. Freeze unglazed cake for up to 3 months. Let cake thaw overnight on countertop before glazing.

JERK WINGS WITH RUM-BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Whisk together the rum, ancho powder, chile de arbol, brown sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until reduced by half. Remove from the heat, and then add butter.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a large high-sided pan until it reaches 365 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Stir together the coriander, ginger, sugar, onion and garlic powders, salt, habanero powder, black pepper, thyme, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves in a large bowl. Season the wings with salt and pepper and toss them in the jerk rub. Add the wings, in batches, to the oil and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and put them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain for a few minutes, and then transfer the wings to a large bowl.
• Add the brown sugar-rum glaze and chopped cilantro and toss to coat each wing. Serve with the Chimichurri Sauce.
• Combine the cilantro, parsley, mint, garlic, and vinegar in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, slowly add the oil through the feed tube until smooth. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and pulse a few times until combined.
