Citrus Rum Glaze

Ingredients

3 cups orange juice

cups light brown sugar

1 orange, zested

1 bay leaf

1 cinnamon stick

2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns

8 wholes cloves

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark rum

Preparation

Combine orange juice, brown sugar, orange zest, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, peppercorns, cloves and allspice in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Continue to cook at a brisk simmer until the mixture has reduced in volume to just over 1 cup and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 30 minutes.

Remove from heat, add the rum, and set aside to cool.
