    This sweet and tangy Guinness Glaze is the perfect way to finish off burgers, salmon, shrimp and chicken any time of the year! cookingwithcurls.com

    We are heading into one of my favorite times of the year..... St. Patrick's Day! There is just something special about all of the Irish inspired meals, I just can't get enough. One of my favorites, is this thick, sweet and tangy Guinness Glaze.....

    No, I still do not drink Guinness, but I love cooking with it! When Bennigans left Cedar Rapids, I could no longer get my favorite Guinness Burger.....the horror!! So I set out to recreate my own Guinness Glaze at home. Let me tell you, that was a pretty simple task, there are only 3 ingredients in this sweet and tangy sauce.....

    Guinness Glaze ingredients cookingwithcurls.com

    I have made it with Extra Stout as well as Draught, and I personally prefer Extra Stout. It gives it a deeper, richer flavor.

    How to make Guinness Glaze:

    Place all of your ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil.....

    Reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes, or until reduced by about half.....

    It will still appear very thin, don't worry, it thickens a bit as it cools.....

    Notes:

    • Be careful not to whisk too vigorously. Glaze bubbles up quite high, so stir gently.
    • Pour into a container and keep in the refrigerator.
    • This glaze is amazing on salmon, chicken, burgers and grilled shrimp!

    This glaze is perfect on burgers, just take a look at these Guinness Burgers with bacon, cheddar cheese, and onion rings.....

    These big, juicy Guinness Burgers topped with Guinness Glaze, cheese, bacon and onion rings are the ultimate comfort food!! cookingwithcurls.com

    Mission accomplished!! It is also quite delicious on Guinness Glazed Salmon with Mashed Potatoes.....

    Guinness Glazed Salmon with perfect mashed potatoes is a quick weeknight meal that the whole family will enjoy! cookingwithcurls.com

    I have also used this glaze on shrimp at a St. Patrick's Day party, but they were gone before any photos could be taken! 🙂
