Bourbon-Braised Pineapple Glaze

Makes about 1⅓ cups

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup (55 grams) firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons (90 grams) bourbon, divided
  • tablespoons (31.5 grams) honey
  • cups (235 grams) chopped cored peeled ripe fresh pineapple
  • 1 teaspoon (4 grams) vanilla extract
  • cups (300 grams) confectioners’ sugar
  • teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, whisk together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons (30 grams) bourbon, and honey. Stir in pineapple.
  • Bake, stirring every 10 minutes, until pineapple is golden brown and liquid is thick and syrupy, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to the container of a blender, and add 2 tablespoons (30 grams) bourbon and vanilla; blend until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together pineapple mixture, confectioners’ sugar, salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons (30 grams) bourbon. Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. If refrigerating, reheat glaze in the top of a double boiler before using.
