Logan Farms Honey Glaze

Logan Farms Honey Glaze - recipe card

A rich, sweet-savory glaze with honey, butter, and a hint of soy sauce, perfect for roasted ham, chicken, or pork. This glaze thickens to a glossy finish that clings beautifully to meat, adding caramelized depth and a delicate garlic note.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup honey and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. The honey will thin out as it heats.
  2. Add 1 clove minced garlic and 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes if using. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned. Overcooking garlic will turn it bitter.
  3. Pour in 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Stir well to combine. The vinegar brightens the sweetness and balances the fat.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the glaze simmer gently. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Watch for large, slow bubbles—this indicates the glaze is reducing.
  5. Remove the pan from heat. The glaze will continue to thicken as it cools. It should be syrupy, not watery. If it gets too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water.
  6. Use immediately brushed over cooked ham, chicken, or pork, or store for later. For a thicker, caramelized finish, brush the glaze during the last 10 minutes of roasting.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. To reheat, warm in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, or microwave in 10-second bursts. If the glaze crystallizes, add a splash of water and stir until smooth. This glaze can also be used on roasted vegetables or as a finishing drizzle for baked sweet potatoes.
