Yield Makes about 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 pound shallots (about 5 large)
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons plum or apricot jam
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh gingerroot
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest

Steps:

  • Chop enough shallots to measure 1 cup. In a heavy saucepan cook shallots in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, water, sugar, jam, gingerroot, garlic, allspice, and red pepper flakes and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 20 minutes. Stir in lime juice and zest. (Glaze may be made 2 days ahead and cooled completely before being chilled, covered.)
