Ingredients
– 1 pound shallots, peeled and halved
– 1/2 cup apple cider
– 1/4 cup bourbon

– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon kosher salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

3. Pour in the apple cider and bourbon, and stir to combine. Sprinkle in the brown sugar, salt, and pepper.
4. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until the shallots are tender and the liquid has reduced to a thick, syrupy glaze.
