How to Make Honey Lime Sauce

  1. Finely chop 1/2 medium onion. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  5. Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the boiling sauce.
  6. Cook and stir constantly until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  7. Serve immediately over your favorite cooked protein: turkey, chicken, fish, or pork. Garnish with extra fresh rosemary, if desired.
