With just a few minutes of simmering, this glaze transforms into a velvety sauce packed with layers of flavor that pair beautifully with pork chops, chicken, or holiday ham. Ready in under 15 minutes, this homemade apricot mustard glaze is a simple yet gourmet touch that will take your meals to the next level.
In a medium saucepan, combine the apricot preserves, whole-grain mustard, and Dijon mustard.
Stir in the honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to thin the mixture slightly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the glaze occasionally as it begins to heat up.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reducing the heat to medium-low.
Let the glaze simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the glaze cool for a few minutes. It will thicken more as it cools.
Use immediately on roasted meats like pork chops, chicken, or ham, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
