Notes
What to Do With It
- Brush it on meatloaf in the last 15 minutes of baking for a glaze that caramelizes without burning.
- Stir a spoonful into ketchup for a sharper dip with fries.
- Mix with horseradish and lemon for a shrimp cocktail sauce that puts the jarred stuff to shame.
- Add a splash to a Bloody Mary.
