This honey glaze simmers honey with butter, a splash of vinegar, and warm spices into a thick, pourable sauce. It brushes onto ham, chicken, salmon, or roasted carrots in the last minutes of cooking for a glossy, caramelized finish. Ready in under fifteen minutes, it keeps well for basting throughout the week.
Ingredients
- 1 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Method
-
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, butter, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.
-
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the butter melts and the ingredients are fully combined.
-
Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
-
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before brushing onto meats, vegetables, or seafood during the last few minutes of cooking.
-
Store any leftover glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, gently reheating before use.
