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.
