Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe pear (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced pear, water, and minced garlic.
Cook the mixture for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pear softens and begins to break down.
Transfer the cooked pear mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan.
Return the pear puree to the saucepan and reduce heat to low.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, ground mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the glaze for an additional 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until all the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the glaze cool for 5 minutes before using.
Brush the glaze onto your choice of meat or poultry during the last 10–15 minutes of cooking, reapplying as needed for a glossy finish.
Alternatively, serve the glaze as a dipping sauce alongside roasted or grilled dishes.
