Honey Bourbon Glaze Recipes

HONEY-BOURBON GLAZED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the honey and bourbon in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Lay the bacon on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes. Brush with some of the honey-bourbon syrup. Continue roasting until deeply caramelized and crispy, another 10 to 15 minutes--the bacon will really crisp as it cools. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and serve.

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.

HONEY BOURBON GLAZE

Steps:

• 1. Combine and whisk together all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently. Do not walk away...it will boil over!
• 2. Make extra and keep in the refrigerator.
• 3. If you wish to use it as a marinade, be sure to simmer it for 5-7 minutes after removing your fish/meat before serving it as a dipping sauce.

BOURBON HONEY GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan, heat bourbon, honey, molasses, and marmalade over low heat for 15 minutes or until reduced by half, stirring occasionally. (When measuring honey and molasses, spray measuring cup with nonstick cooking spray to keep measurements accurate.) Set aside.
• With a sharp knife, cut a diamond pattern on the fatty part of the ham. Stud whole cloves in each diamond, at points where lines cross. Spread half of the bourbon glaze over the ham and roast for 30 minutes, uncovered. Baste occasionally with remaining glaze and continue to roast for another 15 minutes. Let ham stand for 20 minutes before slicing.

GRILLED WINGS WITH HONEY BOURBON GLAZE AND ROQUEFORT DIP

Steps:

• For the wings: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat.
• In a large saucepot, add the wings, salt, vinegar, sugar and chiles. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Immediately turn off the heat and strain the wings, then spread on a baking sheet and carefully pat dry. Roast in the oven to dry out the wings, about 30 minutes.
• For the honey bourbon glaze: Add the oil to a medium high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook to slightly soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the honey and mustard and stir to combine. Carefully add the bourbon off the heat, then return to the heat and boil until it has a syrup consistency and coats the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Carefully add the reduced mixture to a high-powered blender and blend until thoroughly combined. Add the glaze to a large metal bowl and add the wings directly to the bowl from the oven. Toss until the wings are thoroughly coated.
• Grill the coated wings until charred on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Add to a large platter.
• For the blue cheese dressing: Combine the Roquefort, sour cream, mayonnaise, cracked black pepper and celery salt in a medium bowl and stir until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed with salt. Keep cold.
• Garnish the dip and grilled wings with the scallions just prior to serving.
