Adventurer’s Notes
Simple ingredients often create the finest results. The sweetness of honey, the gentle bite of mustard and the freshness of thyme combine to create a glossy glaze that enhances rather than overwhelms. It’s the sort of finishing touch that quietly turns an ordinary roast into something worthy of a royal banquet.
Storage
Store in a sterilised airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Merchant’s Tip
Warm the glaze gently before using. Brushing it onto meat during the final stages of cooking creates a beautifully lacquered finish that’s every bit as impressive as the flavour.
