How to Make Lemon Sauce For Ham

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (reserve 1/2 teaspoon for later), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  5. Stir in the reserved 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard until smooth and creamy.
  6. Serve immediately over your cooled or warmed ham. Garnish with fresh lemon zest (optional).
