Ingredients

• 1 large ripe pear (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced pear, water, and minced garlic.

Step 2

Cook the mixture for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pear softens and begins to break down.

Step 3

Transfer the cooked pear mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan.

Step 4

Return the pear puree to the saucepan and reduce heat to low.

Step 5

Stir in the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, ground mustard, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Cook the glaze for an additional 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until all the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the glaze cool for 5 minutes before using.

Step 8

Brush the glaze onto your choice of meat or poultry during the last 10–15 minutes of cooking, reapplying as needed for a glossy finish.

Step 9

Alternatively, serve the glaze as a dipping sauce alongside roasted or grilled dishes.
