- 0.5 cup Unsweetened apple juice
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Whole30-compatible mustard
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder

Instructions
Pit and chop the dates into small pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, apple juice, and coconut aminos over medium heat.
Stir in the chopped dates, mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the dates are softened, and the glaze is slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
Return the blended glaze to the saucepan, and continue to cook over low heat for an additional 5 minutes until desired consistency is achieved.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Use immediately as a glaze for meats or vegetables, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
