Ingredients
1/2
pound shallots (about 5 large)
2
tbsp plum or apricot jam
1
tbsp finely grated peeled fresh gingerroot
1/4
tsp dried hot red pepper flakes
1/2
tsp freshly grated lime zest
Directions
1.
Chop enough shallots to measure 1 cup. In a heavy saucepan cook shallots in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, water, sugar, jam, gingerroot, garlic, allspice, and red pepper flakes and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 20 minutes. Stir in lime juice and zest. (Glaze may be made 2 days ahead and cooled completely before being chilled, covered.)
