Tips

  • When cooking alcohol in a sauce, the alcohol evaporates, leaving behind the rich, fruity flavors like nutmegs and vanilla.
  • You can blend all ingredients in a liquidizer if preferred.
  • Cook the sauce for at least 20 minutes on a low heat until it reaches a shiny, thick consistency.
  • A good glaze sticks to your finger and doesn't come off easily.
