Ingredients

• 1 cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Low sodium vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and low sodium vegetable broth. Whisk these ingredients together until well mixed.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Add the dried thyme, garlic powder, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir well to integrate the spices.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry.

Step 6

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce while continuously whisking. This will thicken the sauce.

Step 7

Continue to cook the sauce on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes until it reaches the desired thickness.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the olive oil, incorporating it into the sauce to add a smooth texture and shine.

Step 9

Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or an airtight container for storage. It will slightly thicken as it cools.

Step 10

Serve the sauce warm or cool, as a condiment or a dip. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
