Easy Chutney and Bourbon Sauce
Created by: April J Harris

Easy Chutney and Bourbon Sauce

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup chutney of your choice
  • ½ cup good bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon mild vegetable oil
  • 1 large red or white onion peeled and finely sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Stir together the chutney and bourbon in a small saucepan off the heat.
  • Place the saucepan over low heat and stir gently while heating, breaking up the chutney as you go.
  • Carefully raise the heat to medium and bring the ingredients to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer for few minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture reduces and thickens a bit.
  • At this stage your glaze is ready. Pour 3 or 4 tablespoons carefully into a separate small bowl or ramekin and use this to coat your meat before cooking. Set the remaining glaze aside while you cook the meat.
  • Or if you just want glaze, and no sauce, you can use all of the mixture to baste your meat and stop here! (I do this with ham.)
  • To make a sauce as well, carry on with the recipe as follows:
  • Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat.
  • Sauté the onion until it begins to soften.
  • Add the remaining glaze and allow it to bubble together with the onion for a few minutes.
  • Serve as a sauce over the cooked meat.
