Basic Bourbon Glaze

Great bourbon flavors shine when bourbon is added to food. Its sweetness compliments desserts, adding layers of depth. The caramels and spices work well with savory dishes, adding a bit of sweetness, too. The depth of flavor works well in sauces. Bourbon especially compliments pork and chicken, but can work great with beef and fish.
