Description
Cider-and-Bourbon-Glazed Shallots are a comforting and flavorful appetizer that’s sure to impress. Tender shallots are simmered in a rich glaze made with apple cider, bourbon, and brown sugar, creating a balance of sweet, savory, and a hint of boozy warmth.
Ingredients
– 1 pound shallots, peeled and halved
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/2 cup apple cider
– 1/4 cup bourbon
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
– 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
3. Pour in the apple cider and bourbon, then stir in the brown sugar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are very tender and the glaze has thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
6. Transfer the Cider-and-Bourbon-Glazed Shallots to a serving dish and garnish with additional fresh thyme sprigs.
7. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
