Pomegranate Glaze/Sauce

Postby mgwerks » Sun Mar 14, 2010 11:49 pm

Here is a terrific glaze for chicken and pork. Using the base of pomegranate juice makes for a tasty but hard-to-identify flavor that makes you want more. This recipe is easily doubled for more glaze/sauce. See note at the end of the recipe about the listed hot sauce. For use as a glaze, double the brown sugar and glaze the meat 1/2 hour before removing from the smoker. For sauce, use as-is.

Ingredients:
6 T pure Pomegranate juice
4 T ketchup
2 T Búfalo jalapeno hot sauce
2 T brown sugar
1/2 T apple cider vinegar


Method:
Add all ingredients to a saucepan over medium low heat. Whisk together well.
As bubbles start to form, reduce to a slow simmer and let reduce by half, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. It will thicken into a delicious sauce.

Here is the sauce over a bacon-wrapped smoked pork tenderloin:

Note:
The hot sauce listed is one of Mexico's best-kept secrets, and is the best selling sauce there. It is very thick, like ketchup, and doesn't run all over the place like the more popular sauces do, and it isn't overpoweringly vinegar-tasting. It is widely available at H.E.B. stores and Wal*Mart, and get the sauce with the red plastic safety seal around the cap - it has carrots listed as an ingredient.

Believe it or not, there was a substantial culinary culture existing within the Aztec empire before ol' Cow Head showed up with his gift of smallpox. Among their gifts to us were corn, chocolate, and yes - peppers!

I buy that sauce from time to time. Its very affordable, usually less than a buck a bottle. It has a bite but its not off the scale.

I've been looking for that sauce since you posted about the pork tenderloins, but can't find it anywhere locally. I'll do some more looking over the weekend. I have found it on amazon.com and I'm getting ready to order some other stuff there, so I might just add a bottle to the order.
