Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free honey substitute
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Tamari (or gluten-free soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar-free honey substitute, apple cider vinegar, Tamari, garlic powder, ground ginger, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure everything is combined.
Add the unsalted butter to the saucepan and stir until it has completely melted into the mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk the xanthan gum with the water until it forms a smooth slurry with no lumps.
Slowly drizzle the xanthan gum slurry into the simmering sauce while stirring continuously to prevent clumping.
Let the sauce simmer gently for 1-2 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve warm or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week. Reheat gently before using.
