This Braai Day, embrace the now and create a sense of belonging and welcome Jim Beam into the comfort of your home with a mouth-watering bourbon basting recipe to take your braai master skills to the next level.
Ingredients:
- 8 tablespoons butter, salted (1 stick)
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed, dark
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or more as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 cup of Jim Beam
Directions:
- Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the cider, sugar, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Boil until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the Jim Beam. Taste for seasoning, adding salt as necessary. The basting sauce keeps, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 1 week. Reheat over low heat before using.
- Makes about 2 1/2 cups
While there are countless ways to enjoy Jim Beam, complete your Braai Day experience with a refreshing Jim Cineapple. Pour 50ml of Jim Beam into a glass; add 80ml of apple juice. Top up with a splash of soda. Add cinnamon and apply a slice of garnish
