Honey Vinegar Glaze Recipes

HOMEMADE BALSAMIC GLAZE WITH HONEY

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup balsamic vinegar to a boil over medium-high heat in a one-quart saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium or medium low, so the vinegar stays at a simmer. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the vinegar is reduced by half.
• Add the honey and stir to combine. Continue simmering until the glaze has thickened slightly. You will see that the bubbles take longer to pop, and the surface of the liquid seems to have more tension. By this time, the vinegar will be reduced to about 1/3 cup. This takes about 10 additional minutes after adding the honey.
• Allow the glaze to cool, and pour into a small jar or squeeze bottle. Store in the refrigerator.

PERFECT HONEY-BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Whisk balsamic vinegar and honey together in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir garlic, rosemary, and garlic salt into vinegar mixture. Cook and stir until mixture starts to foam. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until glaze coats the back of a wooden spoon, 30 to 40 minutes.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BALSAMIC AND HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine Brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat. Spread out evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until browned, about 30 minutes, turning after 15 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with balsamic vinegar and honey, mixing to coat evenly.

LAMB SWEETBREADS IN A HONEY AND SHERRY VINEGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Soak the sweetbreads in cold water to cover for 2 hours, changing the water 3 times. Drain and place the sweetbreads in a saucepan. Cover with cold water and add the lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain the sweetbreads and immediately plunge them into a bowl of cold water. After 3 or 4 minutes, remove and drain the sweetbreads on paper towels. Separate into lobes, with the natural partitions, and remove the tubes and connective tissues. The pieces will be approximately 2 by 2 inches.
• In a large skillet that will hold all the sweetbreads in a single layer, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sweetbreads, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, and increase the heat to medium high. Cook, without stirring for about 3 minutes, then turn the sweetbreads to the other side. Continue cooking until golden, about 5 minutes more. Transfer them with a slotted spoon to a plate and set aside.
• Add the onion and shallot to the pan and saute for about 5 minutes, until golden. Add the vinegar and sherry, increase the heat to high, and deglaze the pan, stirring and scraping until the liquid has reduced by half. Add the beef broth or veal stock and simmer until again reduced by half, to just under 1 cup. Whisk in the honey and the butter and return the sweetbreads to the pan. Turn them in the sauce until heated through and nicely glazed, and serve immediately.

GAME HENS WITH HONEY, VINEGAR AND SPICE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove giblets from game hens. Pat game hens dry. Tie legs of each game hen together to hold shape. Place game hens in large roasting pan. Combine olive oil, Sherry wine vinegar, honey, ground cumin, aniseed and ground cinnamon in heavy medium saucepan. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Remove glaze from heat. Brush some of glaze over game hens. Sprinkle game hens generously with salt and pepper. Roast until last drops of juices run clear when thighs are pierced, basting every 10 minutes with glaze, about 55 minutes. Transfer game hens to plates and serve.
