Ingredients
- 1 cup Bourbon
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine bourbon, honey, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, low sodium soy sauce, and Dijon mustard.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic, ground black pepper, and ground ginger into the saucepan. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reducing the heat to medium-low. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
While the glaze simmers, in a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Step 5
After the glaze has simmered, gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry. This will help thicken the glaze.
Step 6
Continue to simmer the glaze for another 3-5 minutes until it reaches your desired thickness.
Step 7
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before using.
Step 8
Use the glaze to brush over grilled meats or as a dip on the side. It can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
