Applebee's Honey Glaze

Ingredients

• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup beef stock
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/8 cup worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon whiskey
• 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
• Tabasco sauce (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon garlic (granulated)
• cornstarch or water, mixture as needed to thicken

Directions

1. 1

   Combine liquid ingredients No. 2 through 10 in saucepan and warm to just below a simmer over low heat.

2. 2

   You may opt to use a "double boiler" pan to avoid scorching the glaze.

3. 3

   Next, add garlic and then slowly add sugar while stirring.

4. 4

   In small cup/bowl, add cornstarch to cold water and mix thoroughly until starch is dissolved. Increase heat to glaze and slowly stir in the starch/water mixture as it thickens.

5. 5

   Do not bring to full boil. Stop just short of the desired final consistency. It will continue to thicken.

6. 6

   Reduce heat to keep warm. You may serve on the side of your favorite broiled dish or brush on just before removing from the broiler/grill.
