This glaze simmers orange marmalade with a splash of vinegar and a touch of mustard until it thins into a glossy, brushable sauce. It works well over baked ham, roasted chicken, salmon, or carrots, adding bright citrus sweetness with a hint of tang. Make it ahead and warm gently before brushing onto meats or vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Method
-
Combine the orange marmalade, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, butter, ground ginger, salt, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan.
-
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to melt the butter and dissolve the marmalade.
-
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until the glaze thins slightly and turns glossy.
-
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before brushing onto meats, poultry, or vegetables, or transfer to a jar for later use.
