Servings 1 half cup
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Equipment

  • Saucepan

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Guinness beer
  • ½ cup light brown sugar

Instructions

  • Add Guinness and brown sugar to a small saucepan. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat. Simmer until thickened and reduced by approximately two-thirds, about 20 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally and watch for bubbles, lowering heat if it starts bubbling too much.
  • Transfer glaze to a small bowl. Let cool for a few minutes before using to glaze meats, drizzle on burgers, or serve as a dip.*
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.*

Notes

Cook time: If the glaze is reducing too quickly, lower the heat! You want this glaze to reduce slowly so that it has time to thicken. Otherwise, you'll end up boiling off too much of the liquid too quickly, and the glaze will end up too thin.
Serving suggestions: We use this glaze in our Guinness Glaze Burger and like to serve some on the side for dipping onion rings into. You can also use this to glaze ham, make candied bacon in the oven, or even drizzle it on pizza. The options are limitless!
Storing and reheating: This glaze will harden slightly when stored in the refrigerator. To use, microwave for just a few seconds and give it a good stir.
