When you think of meat glazes, rarely do you think of vanilla, but I assure you it works. This whiskey vanilla glaze works with almost all kind of meats, from pork, chicken, beef, lamb or fish as it helps seal in the moisture and bring out the natural sweetness of any meat.

I’m always looking for unique meat glazes and I think this whiskey vanilla glaze on these grilled baby pork ribs just tops it. The combination of Black juice pure vanilla extract and Madagascar vanilla paste with whiskey adds a vibrant vanilla taste to these rib racks.

How to Make The Whiskey Vanilla Glaze for These Grilled Baby Pork Rib Racks

You’ll need the following ingredients for the glaze

1. Whiskey of choice
2. Brown sugar
3. Black juice pure vanilla extract
4. Black juice Madagascar vanilla paste
5. Butter

Place everything on a saucepan over medium heat and bring to boil. Cook for about 6 minutes as you stir constantly until the mixture turns into a syrup-like glaze. The alcohol will reduce and the mixture will be syrupy. Set the glaze aside as you prep the rib racks.

Perfect Rub for These Grilled Baby Pork Ribs Rack

You’ll need to make the rub by mixing your favorite spices. I used garlic powder, ginger powder, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper. You’ll rub this spice mix unto the racks and use your fingers to rub it in. Be a little generous with the spice rub.

After this, heat your grill pan or if using an oven preheat it to 180c then place your racks onto the grill rack. If using the pan heat some oil and place the racks. Let the ribs sear until brown but be careful not to burn the spices. Start rubbing the racks with the whiskey vanilla glaze on both sides and let the ribs cook for 15 minutes. Add the glaze as much as you wish, preferably baste twice. Keep some glaze for while serving.

Let the meat rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting.

Next time you’re looking for a meat glaze try this whiskey vanilla glaze as it works with a variety of meats. I look forward to seeing all your creations. Check out Black Juice Vanillas for their quality vanilla products.
