Ingredients
- Apricot preserves
- 1 cup
- Habanero pepper, finely chopped
- 1 (adjust based on heat preference)
- Apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup
- Honey
- 1/4 cup
- Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the apricot preserves, finely chopped habanero pepper, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, and salt.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
- Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and allow the glaze to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help meld the flavors and concentrate the glaze.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the glaze cool for at least 10 minutes before using. The glaze will thicken as it cools.
- For grilling, brush the glaze onto your choice of grilled meats or roasted vegetables during the last few minutes of cooking to create a beautiful, sticky finish.
- Serve any extra glaze on the side for dipping or drizzling over your dish.
Tips
- For a milder version, remove the seeds from the habanero pepper before chopping.
- This glaze pairs wonderfully with chicken, pork, shrimp, or roasted sweet potatoes.
- You can store any leftover glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
