How to Make Cranberry Sesame Honey Glaze

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup cranberry sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
  2. Cook over medium heat, whisking frequently, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  3. Brush generously onto chicken, pork, or other meats during the last 5-8 minutes of cooking time. You can also baste it during grilling or broiling.
  4. Serve immediately. Makes approximately 1 cup of glaze.
