How to Make Spicy Fruit Finishing Glaze For Barbecue

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1/4 cup chopped jalapeno pepper (remove seeds for less heat), 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves. Stir well to combine.
Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the onion is very soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Add 1 cup of your favorite fruit preserves (apricot, peach, or mango recommended) and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes, or until the glaze has slightly thickened. The mixture may appear thin initially but will thicken as it cools.
Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The glaze will thicken further upon refrigeration.
Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
For best results, brush generously onto your barbecued meats during the last 5-7 minutes of grilling to create a beautiful, caramelized glaze.
