Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • OR brown sugar alternative (for lower sugar option)
  • 1/3 cup honey (can use maple syrup for a different flavor note)
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice (or crushed pineapple with some extra juice if you like some chunks) (can use orange juice for a different flavor note)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Place all of the ingredients in a medium sauce pan.  Simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is slightly syrupy (it will thicken as it cools).
    For the best flavor, refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to fully develop.  This brown sugar glaze will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
