Chinese Glaze for pork, beef or chicken

1 cup soy sauce
1/4 molasses
1/2 cup sugar (or more)
3 tablespoons Alessi raspberry balsamic vinegar
4 star anise
1/2 cup white wine
4 to 6 pieces whole kumquats or lareg portions of orange rind (dried is okay)
1 tablespoon red hot sauce

6 or more pieces of garlic diced

Mix all ingredients and simmer on top of stove for about 10 minutes - let sit for a time to get the flavors to mingle.

At this point you can marinate your meats in a portion of this sauce but save some for cooking.

Bake in open pan slow oven 275 to 300 for about two hours - turn every 20 mins
