How people cook with it
This glaze is a versatile finishing sauce that elevates a wide range of foods. It adds a sophisticated touch to both savory and sweet preparations.

To use, simply open the bottle and drizzle the glaze directly onto your prepared food. It can be applied as a final touch before serving to add visual appeal and a burst of flavor.

It offers a less acidic and more intensely sweet experience than its liquid counterpart, making it ideal for finishing rather than as a base for dressings.
