Sticky, sweet and sour glaze infused with fresh ginger

Sticky honey, lemon and ginger glaze

Recipes Sauces and Gravies
This isn't a sauce, but a glaze, designed to create a shiny, sticky, flavour-bomb coating on roast meats or vegetables. The reduction of sugar (honey) and butter results in a thick, syrupy texture that clings to the food. Ginger and lemon ensure the sweetness isn't cloying, but refreshing.

Instructions

1 ✓

Assembly: Place the butter, honey, lemon juice and grated ginger in a small saucepan.

Tip: Grate the ginger finely so its flavour melts into the glaze and you don't have annoying fibres.
2 ✓

Cooking (Reduction): Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until water evaporates and the mixture becomes syrupy.

Tip: Watch the bubbles! As it thickens, bubbles become larger and slower. This is the sign you're on the right track.
3 ✓

Finishing: Add salt, then remove from heat. Use immediately or let cool to lukewarm.

Tip: Salt is essential to highlight the sweet and sour flavours (flavour enhancer).
4 ✓

Usage: Brush onto the nearly cooked roast with a brush, and return to the oven for a few minutes to caramelise.

Recipe FAQ

The glaze got too hard after cooling.
This is due to the sugar. Reheat with a tiny bit of water and it will be runny again.
It burnt onto the meat in the oven.
Honey burns quickly above 140 degrees. Only brush the glaze on the meat in the last 5-10 minutes of cooking!
