Step 3

Make the glaze: Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Whisk in the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, the cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Add the Captain Morgan® Sliced Apple Spiced Rum and whisk until combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 6–8 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly and has the consistency of pancake syrup.
