This glaze simmers maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and a splash of vinegar into a glossy, pourable sauce. It coats roasted salmon, pork tenderloin, chicken thighs, or roasted vegetables with a sticky-sweet, tangy finish. Ready in under 15 minutes, it keeps well for make-ahead meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

Method

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

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

  3. In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch and water together until smooth to form a slurry.

  4. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering glaze and continue to simmer, whisking frequently, until thickened and glossy.

  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.

  6. Let the glaze cool slightly before brushing onto meat or vegetables, or transfer to a jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
