Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup raw honey
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon arrowroot starch
- 2 teaspoons water
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the arrowroot starch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, coconut aminos, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the arrowroot starch slurry. Continue to stir until the sauce thickens, about 2–3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve immediately as a glaze, dipping sauce, or drizzle over your favorite Paleo-friendly dishes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
