Any chance you could post the recipe for the glaze? TIA
The idea for it just popped into my head and I decided to go for it even though there were going to be nine people for dinner.
I started with two ripe red pears, peeled and cubed. Then into a pot, cover with rum and simmered it covered for about 20 minutes. I used white rum but I wish I had dark rum! Once the fruit was really soft, I whisked the lot which left it sort of chunky which is what I was going for. If you want a smoother glaze, a hand blender or mixer should do the trick.
Then I put it back on the heat and added about 1/3 cup of Maple syrup and about a four second squeeze on the honey bottle. Then some cayenne pepper (you decide how much!) salt and ground pepper.
Let simmer uncovered until it's time to take it out to the BBQ. At that point I added about five, large, finely chopped garlic cloves and simmered for just another minute or two.
I basted the pork roast several times during the cook. I'm more of a "forward sear" guy - get a nice sear crust on the meat using the fat for flames first and then go indirect for the rest of the cook with plenty of bastings with whatever sauce/glaze that I'm using.
I didn't get to take a picture of the final product last night because everyone was hovering behind me trying to get at it! So here is a picture of the leftovers that is a mini version of the platter from last night. As you can see, I used the remaining glaze over the top of all the slices. Everyone went nuts!
