Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup honey
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium saucepan, combine the honey, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce.
Add the Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and salt to the saucepan with the other ingredients.
Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat.
Stir the mixture continuously with a whisk or spoon until the ingredients are well combined and a uniform texture is achieved, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using or storing.
Transfer the honey sauce into a glass jar or a sauce bottle. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Shake or stir well before each use, as ingredients might settle over time.
