This glaze simmers honey and fresh lime juice with a touch of butter into a glossy, pourable sauce. It works well brushed over grilled chicken, salmon, or roasted vegetables, and thickens slightly as it cools for easy drizzling.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

Method

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, and salt.

  2. Whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth to make a slurry.

  3. Bring the honey mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

  4. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry and simmer, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.

  5. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until melted and glossy.

  6. Let the glaze cool for 5 minutes before brushing or drizzling over cooked meat, fish, or vegetables.
