- It's too thin.
- Refrigerate it! Honey and mustard thicken naturally when cold.

Orange-Honey Mustard Glaze
This sauce is built on the harmony of opposites: the bite of mustard, the sweetness of honey, and the acidity of fruit juice. It's like a good perfume: it has top notes (orange), heart notes (ginger and mustard), and base notes (honey). Excellent for dipping, dressing salads, or glazing roasts in the final minutes.
