Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes, until the glaze has reduced by about one-third and coats the back of a spoon — a finger drawn through the coating should leave a clean line. Watch closely in the final 2 minutes, as the maple syrup can scorch quickly.
