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.

Recipe FAQ

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