Maple Marinade


Maple Marinade

Yield: About 1/2 cup
Use on: Pork, chicken, duck breasts, squab
Brush on: Brush on before and during grilling
Make ahead: The maple marinade can be refrigerated for up to 3 days

Because this sweet, peppery marinade is made with a high proportion of maple syrup, be sure to grill the meat or poultry over moderately low heat so that it cooks evenly without burning.

1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 fresh thyme sprigs
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients and simmer over low heat until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Let stand for 2 hours before using.
