Maple Glaze

Maple Glaze is the perfect addition to our favorite grilled meats. The sweet and savory mix adds incredible flavor to everything from a holiday ham to your favorite grilled wings. 

We've been using this maple glaze for a few years and we just keep going back to it for the incredible flavor it adds to pork and chicken. Give it a try for your next meal on the grill!

Maple Glaze Ingredients:

• Pure maple syrup ~ A must have for this recipe, not the same as pancake syrup, no substitutions!
• Granulated garlic ~ Garlic is the perfect savory compliment to the sweet maple syrup.
• Black pepper ~ Adds a spicy kick to the glaze.
• Smoked paprika ~ The secret ingredient in most grilling rubs. It adds the perfect balance of flavor with a hint of smokiness.
• Kosher salt ~ A bit of salt is a must have for grilling meat.
• Ground rosemary ~ Fresh or dried rosemary works great in this recipe. If you are injecting the glaze, the ground rosemary works best.

How to Make a Maple Glaze:

• In a saucepan, add maple syrup, garlic pepper, paprika, salt and rosemary.

• Whisk to combine and cook over medium heat and bring to a boil.
• Whisk occasionally, boiling 3- 5 minutes. 
• Remove from heat and cool slightly before using.

• If making ahead, store cooled glaze in an airtight jar in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks. 
• Bring to room temperature or heat on stove top before using. 

Great Recipe Ideas Using Maple Glaze:

This maple glaze is so good that we have tried it on just about everything we grill. It has so much flavor and makes the best tasting grilled meats.

Maple Glazed Ham is so simple to make for any holiday meal. This ham has been the centerpiece of our Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. It's always a crowd favorite.

Maple Glazed Ribs are outrageously delicious. Like nothing you can get from a bbq restaurant, these ribs are sticky sweet and perfectly smoked. We never have leftovers when these ribs are on the menu.

Smoked Maple Wings were the star of the show at our last get together. They are so simple to make on the grill and of course would work with chicken tenders or chicken thighs too. 

Maple Glazed Pork Chops are always a favorite weeknight dinner.  Thick and hearty pork chops are the perfect combination with the maple and rosemary flavors. 

Add this Maple Glaze to practically anything you are grilling this week. It's sure to make the best holiday ham, smoked ribs or chicken. The sticky sweet glaze has the perfect peppery bite and loads of garlic and herb flavors.
