Honey Mustard Chipotle Sauce

Over the years we’ve tried different techniques for saucing or glazing a baked ham, and finally developed a sauce with nice depth of flavor and consistency. We don’t use it on the exterior of the ham, but as a sauce when it’s been plated or on sandwiches.

Ingredients
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 shallot chopped
2 tbsp white wine
½ cup vegetable stock
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 tsp brown sugar
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp apple juice
1 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat the avocado oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add shallots and cook until softened, 1-2 min.
Pour in wine and cook off alcohol for 2 min.
Add vegetable stock, mustard, chipotle peppers, brown sugar, honey, and apple juice. Bring to a boil then lower heat to medium low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes to thicken.
Add butter and cook for 4 – 5 more minutes, then add salt and pepper to taste.

Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for later.
