Apple Glaze for Meats Recipe

American · Condiment · 25 min total

A sweet and tangy apple glaze that caramelizes beautifully on pork, chicken, or ham, adding a glossy finish and rich flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 cup apple cider or apple juice
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine apple cider, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, butter, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and pepper.
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and reduces by about half, 10–15 minutes. It should coat the back of a spoon.
4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips

• Brush the glaze onto meats during the last 15–20 minutes of roasting or grilling to prevent burning.
• For a thicker glaze, simmer an additional 5 minutes.
• Reheat gently before using if stored.
