Directions Bourbon Raisin Sauce for Ham
Directions
-
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir onion in hot butter until starting to caramelize, 8 to 10 minutes. Add ginger to onion, cook and stir until fragrant and caramelized, 2 to 5 minutes more.
Stir brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, star anise, mustard, cloves, salt, and pepper into onion mixture, cook until brown sugar and cornstarch dissolve. Slowly mix vinegar into brown sugar mixture. Add apple cider, raisins and bourbon, bring to a boil, stirring frequently, and cook until sauce is reduced by half, 15 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat.
Whisk 1 pound butter into sauce, 1 tablespoon at a time, until butter melts and sauce is glossy and thick.
