I worry with the Bourbon ingredient that the glaze may not be GF - there is often wheat, rye or barley in the processing and I'm not sure if bourbon is distilled or not - I think it's just aged. Anyway - I found a GF substitue for bourbon on the Gourmet Sleuth site which I haven't tried, but sounds too sweet. I'd probably stay with the pineapple juice (which is also pretty sweet :-) Just to keep my family safe Substitute for bourbon Bourbon extract For 1 tbsp bourbon substitute 1 tbsp vanilla extract plus 2 tbsp water. Non-alcoholic vanilla extract. Sparkling apple cider, sparkling cranberry juice - or sparkling grape juice.
