Jelly Glaze

What do you do with leftover jelly or jam? Make a glaze for chicken or pork.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup jelly or jam
• 2 Tbsp. Dijon-style or brown mustard
• 2 tsp. lemon juice or balsamic vinegar
• 2 tsp. Soy or Worchester Sauce

Directions

Combine all ingredients. Heat just long enough to melt the jam or jelly and combine the flavors. Thin with water, as desired.

You also could add dried or fresh herbs. And don't be afraid to play with the formula, which includes a balance of sweet, tangy and salty elements. Spicy would be good, too.
