This glaze balances fruity sweetness with mustard's bite, thickening into a glossy coating perfect for brushing over ham, pork tenderloin, or roasted chicken. A splash of vinegar and a touch of garlic round out the flavor, and the whole thing comes together in about fifteen minutes on the stovetop.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups apricot preserves
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons water

Method

  1. Combine the apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, pepper, and water in a small saucepan.

  2. Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.

  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before brushing onto meat or transferring to a jar for storage.
