Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

In a medium saucepan, combine both amounts of cranberry sauce, brown sugar, orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice, mustard, honey, and cloves.

02

Step
3 mins

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. (Approximately 3-5 minutes)

03

Step
8 mins

Reduce heat to medium and gently boil, stirring occasionally, until the cranberry sauce has melted, the brown sugar has dissolved, and the glaze has thickened slightly. (Approximately 8-10 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. (Approximately 5 minutes)

For a smoother glaze, you can strain the sauce after cooking to remove the cloves and orange zest, if desired.
This glaze can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Experiment with different types of mustard for a unique flavor profile. Dijon mustard adds a bit of tang, while a grainy mustard provides texture and visual appeal.
A splash of bourbon or whiskey can add a touch of warmth and complexity to the glaze.

    The only thing I changed was to add a pinch of ground ginger for an extra hint of spice. It was a great addition!
