Ingredients

0.25 cup bourbon
0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 cloves minced garlic
0.5 teaspoon ground mustard
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the bourbon, low-sodium soy sauce, and honey over medium heat.

Step 2

Stir in the apple cider vinegar and minced garlic.

Step 3

Add ground mustard and black pepper, whisking until the mustard is fully dissolved.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low.

Step 5

Simmer the glaze for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the extra virgin olive oil.

Step 7

Let the glaze cool slightly before using, as it will thicken further upon standing.

Step 8

Drizzle over your choice of grilled chicken, fish, or roasted vegetables for a heart-healthy meal addition.
