Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/4 cup dried apricots (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fig preserves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, orange juice, and lemon juice. Stir until the honey dissolves completely.
Add the chopped dried apricots, fig preserves, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and minced garlic to the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apricots soften and the glaze begins to thicken.
Add the chopped rosemary, salt, and unsalted butter to the saucepan. Stir until the butter melts and the glaze is silky and smooth.
Remove the glaze from heat and let it cool slightly to allow the flavors to meld together.
Brush the warm glaze generously over grilled, roasted, or pan-seared lamb chops or racks, reserving a small amount for serving.
Serve the lamb with an extra drizzle of the glaze on top and enjoy!
