Sweet meat glaze

*Vegan*

Ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar, Sugar, Spices

The Awkward Fox Sweet Meat Glaze (don't let the name fool you! ironically the sauce is vegan 😉) is a vibrant and versatile style sauce - meticulously crafted to elevate both sweet and savory dishes. The initial sweetness of concentrated apple cider, infused with warm spices gives way to a tangy vinegar counterpoint, creating a complex and balanced flavour profile. This glaze boasts a luscious, syrupy consistency perfect for drizzling over roasted meats such as pork or duck, adding a touch of sweetness and acidity. The sauce offers a sophisticated depth of flavor that is both comforting and intriguing. Here are some recipe ideas using The Awkward Fox Sweet Meat Glaze: 🦊😋

Glazing Meats:

- Pork Chops or Tenderloin: Brush the glaze on pan-seared, grilled, or roasted pork during the last few minutes of cooking for a beautiful, sweet, and slightly tart crust.

- Chicken or Duck Breast: Similar to pork, the glaze adds a lovely sheen and flavor to poultry. Consider basting it on during roasting or grilling.

- Ham: Glaze a baked ham with sweet meat glaze for a less intensely sweet alternative to traditional honey or maple glazes.

- Bacon: Brush bacon with the glaze before baking for a candied, sweet, and savory treat.

- Sausages: Glaze grilled or pan fried sausages for an extra layer of flavor.

Savoury Applications:

- Caramelized Onions: Toss caramelized onions in a bit of the glaze for an extra layer of sweetness and tang, perfect for burgers, tarts, or as a side.

- Roasted Root Vegetables: Toss roasted root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes with the glaze for a sweet and savory side dish.

- Brussels Sprouts: Drizzle roasted or pan fried Brussels sprouts with the glaze for a balanced sweet and bitter flavour profile.

- Pan Sauces: Deglaze your pan after cooking meats with a little stock or wine and then whisk in a spoonful of sweet meat glaze for a quick and flavourful pan sauce.

- Salad Dressing: Whisk a small amount of the glaze into a vinaigrette for a touch of sweetness and acidity, especially good with salads containing apples, nuts, or cheese.

- Pizza Topping: Drizzle a little of the glaze over a pizza with savory toppings like prosciutto, figs, and gorgonzola.

Sweet and Savory Combinations:

- Apple and Pork Dishes: The glaze naturally complements dishes featuring apples and pork.

- Cheese Boards: Serve a small bowl of the glaze alongside a cheese board, particularly with sharp cheddar or creamy brie.

 - Tarts and Galettes: Drizzle the glaze over savory tarts or galettes filled with ingredients like onions, bacon, and apples.
