This Maple Bourbon Glaze is a sweet and sticky glaze that is perfect on ribs, chicken, and so much more. It's a delicious and beautiful way to finish up any of your BBQ. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 mins until the glaze reaches a syrupy consistency.
This is also the same (or similar-ish) bourbon maple glazed carrots recipe I shared with you a LONG time ago, way back in December 2011. I'm bringing this recipe back today because I've made some tweaks to it along that way that took it from good to holy freaking awesome.
We also prefer using a silicone brush for glazing because it applies the glaze evenly and is easy to clean up. This recipe makes enough bourbon maple glaze for a 3 to 5 pound ham or bone-in turkey breast. Try using this glaze with our Roast Turkey Breast with Maple Bourbon Glaze or Maple Bourbon Glazed Grilled Ham recipes.
For our Maple Bourbon Glazed Ham recipe, we recommend letting the glaze set for 10 to 15 minutes between coats; this helps the glaze build up so it can deliver more flavor and have a crisper texture. Sometimes when a glaze is applied all at once, it ends up sticky and goopy, which no one wants.
