Citrus Sorghum Glaze
I’m not a huge fan of honey so I tend to veer away from marinades or glazes that call for it. But I love sorghum. It’s thick and sticky like honey but less cloying. Its complex flavor doesn’t dominate in recipes which I find to be a plus. So here is my take on a simple Criollo style slightly sweet citrus glaze. You can also use it to marinate raw meat. I made extra and dressed strawberries with it and I’m sure there is a cocktail use as well. Sorghum Margarita anyone? Add soy sauce to it and you have a kind of teriyaki thing going on. The variations are endless especially if you start adding herbs to the mix. Try mint for a fruit dressing or cocktail (Sorghum Mojito?), basil or thyme for chicken and cilantro or oregano for pork. It’s spectacular brushed on a roasting chicken toward the end of cooking.
