Cheddars Bourbon Glaze Recipe

BBQ is incomplete without Cheddars Bourbon Glaze Recipe! I still remember the voice of my bestfriend Sarah’s grandma. I can still smell the evenings of summer vacation or holidays we spent together in their garden, preparing the meat, glazing it and then grilling it. 

We were so fascinated by the glazing of meat that it marked the most highlighted event of the evening. Back then, the only concern was the rich flavor and texture of the meat. 

But as I grew up and those evenings started to fade away, I started to miss that flavor and had a wish that I could make the glaze on my own, the one that tasted exactly like Sarah’s grandma. 

One day I asked Sarah if she had any idea what was the secret behind the goodness of her grandma’s Bourbon Glaze, and she was just overwhelmed because she also missed all that. 

Long story short, with the memory of our mothers, we were able to revive the recipe and I’m here to share it with you!
