Glaze Ingredients
- ½ cup honey
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, unsalted butter, dried thyme, and salt into a small pot.
- Heat Mixture: Set the pot over medium-low heat on the stove. Stir continuously to combine all ingredients thoroughly and dissolve the sugar.
- Simmer: Allow the glaze to warm until it starts to simmer gently, about 3 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure an even texture.

- Use the Glaze: While still warm, use the glaze to baste your favorite meats such as chicken, pork, or ham to add a shiny, flavorful coating.
Notes
- The glaze is easiest to use when warm. If refrigerated and it thickens or sets, reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before applying.
- This glaze pairs well with grilled or roasted meats, adding a sweet and tangy flavor.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the honey or brown sugar quantities based on your preference.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
