Instructions
Reducing Bourbon

3 MinutenAdd maple syrup, ketchup, soy sauce, and brown sugar to the reduced bourbon and stir well to combine.
Seasoning and Simmering
12 MinutenStir in smoked paprika and garlic powder, reduce heat, and simmer the glaze for 10-12 minutes until it reaches a syrupy consistency.
Finishing
5 MinutenRemove the glaze from heat, taste, and balance with salt or a splash of apple cider vinegar if needed, then transfer to a jar.
Pro Tip
