Honey Apple Brandy Glaze For Smoked Pork Recipe
Well if this honey apple brandy glaze is anything to go by we'll have to run out of apples more often! Today, as I write this recipe, it's a public holiday, I've got a lovely piece of pork that is perfect for smoking and my wife through it would be nice to make some apple sauce. Just a minor problem............no apples!
What else has apple flavouring? Cider! Calvados!
Looking at the bottles I have available, this is going to be a Calvados glaze. Calvados is an apple brandy made in the Normandy area of France, it has beautiful apple flavours and the French use it extensively in cooking so why shouldn't we?
I've kept my smoked pork recipe very simple and then used this glaze to bring out the full apple flavor.
Tip all the ingredients into a small saucepan and and bring up to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes (this helps any bitterness from the alcohol to burn off) and then allow to cool so that you have a semi viscous glaze.
Spoon over your pork joint at regular intervals during the later stages of your cook out.
