Cherry Brandy Glaze

Cherry Brandy Glaze

Ingredients

1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted

1/2 cup TMD Cherry Brandy

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup chicken or beef broth (depending on the meat)

1 tablespoon corn starch

1 tablespoon cold water

Salt and pepper to taste 

 

Method

  • In a saucepan, combine the pitted cherries, Cherry Brandy Liqueur, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar. Simmer until cherries soften and liquid reduces.
  • In a small bowl, mix corn-starch and cold water to create a slurry.
  • Add the slurry to the cherry mixture to thicken. Stir until desired thickness.
  • Incorporate chicken or beef broth and simmer briefly to meld flavours.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Let the glaze cool for a few minutes.
  • Strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve to remove cherry solids.
  • Drizzle the Cherry Brandy Glaze over your cooked meat. Ideal with pork, duck, or chicken.
