Easy Maple Glaze Sauce for Ribs (Real Maple Syrup)
This maple glaze sauce is a thick, sticky finishing glaze made with real maple syrup, vinegar, and seasonings. It works well brushed onto ribs, pork chops, chicken wings, salmon, and roasted vegetables during the final stage of cooking.
Equipment
- Saucepan
- measuring cup
- Whisk
- Tablespoon
- Teaspoon
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Maple Syrup Pure NO SUBSTITUTES
- 1 Tbsp Sriracha Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Tsp Onion Powder
- ½ Tsp Salt
- ¼ Tsp Mustard Powder
- ⅛ Tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Add the maple syrup, sriracha sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt, dry mustard powder, and black pepper to a small saucepan. Stir to combine.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the maple glaze sauce to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally.
- Allow the glaze to cook for about 5 minutes until thickened and glossy. The finished glaze should coat the back of a spoon and feel similar to a thick caramel sauce.
- Remove from the heat once thickened. The maple glaze sauce will continue thickening slightly as it cools.
- Brush or pour the maple glaze sauce onto ribs, pork, chicken, salmon, or roasted vegetables during the final stage of cooking.
Notes
Notes
- Apply the glaze near the end of cooking to prevent the maple syrup from darkening too much.
- One light layer at a time helps the glaze caramelize more evenly.
- Pure maple syrup gives the best flavor and consistency.
- Pancake syrup is not recommended because it will not thicken the same way.
- The glaze thickens further after cooling or refrigeration.
