Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Sugar-free honey substitute
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Tamari (or gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar-free honey substitute, apple cider vinegar, Tamari, garlic powder, ground ginger, and salt.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure everything is combined.

Step 3

Add the unsalted butter to the saucepan and stir until it has completely melted into the mixture.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk the xanthan gum with the water until it forms a smooth slurry with no lumps.

Step 5

Slowly drizzle the xanthan gum slurry into the simmering sauce while stirring continuously to prevent clumping.

Step 6

Let the sauce simmer gently for 1-2 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Be careful not to overcook.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 8

Serve warm or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week. Reheat gently before using.
