Grilled Salmon with Smokey Apple Glaze

Salmon fillets
Grill basting sauce
1/4 cup of melted butter or margarine
1 tablespoon white wine
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
Old Bay seasoning
Red Jacket Farm Smokey Apple Glaze

Prepare the salmon by scoring the skin. Brush the fillet with basting sauce and sprinkle lightly with Old Bay. Place skin side up on grill. After about one minute “shuffle” fillet to prevent sticking. When fillete is cooked about half through, baste and sprinkle with Old Bay. Flip and cook until 165°F internal temperature. Garnish with lemon.

Sweet and Spicy Wings
1 dozen whole chicken wings
Spiced apple glaze
Salt and pepper

Rinsed wings and pat dry. Skewer 3-4 wings per skewer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill or bake wings until they reach a minimum internal temperature of 165°F and skin is crisp. Brush wings liberally with spiced apple glaze and cook a few more minutes until glaze is hot.

Spiced Veggies
Spiced apple glaze can perk up your veggies. If you grill veggies, just brush the glaze on when they are done. If you steam, just toss a tablespoon or two on top and toss until well coated.

Roast Pork with Spiced Apple Glaze
Prepare your favorite roast of pork as usual. About halfway through cooking begin to brush on Spiced apple glaze about every 20 minutes. This will form a wonderful caramelized glaze.

Spiced Glazed Ham
About 30 minutes before ham is done, brush top of ham liberally with Spiced apple glaze. Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Cook about 30 minutes more until outside is crisp and browned.

If you can grill it, you can glaze it!
Spiced apple glaze is great on almost anything you can grill. Pork, lamb, chicken, seafood...you decide. Just grill until done. Brush with glaze and cook a couple minutes more to make the glaze nice and hot.

No more bland beans!
If you like baked beans, but they taste a bit bland, stir in a tablespoon or two of Spiced apple glaze. The difference in flavor will be amazing.
