Description

This vibrant Orange-Mustard Sauce is a quick and easy condiment that transforms ordinary grilled dishes into restaurant-quality meals. Combining the savory depth of V8 vegetable juice with the bright sweetness of orange marmalade and the sharp kick of Dijon mustard, this sauce offers a perfect balance of flavors. It reduces down to a glossy, clingy glaze that is ideal for basting chicken, pork chops, or turkey during the final minutes of cooking. The acidity cuts through the richness of the meat, while the natural sugars caramelize slightly under high heat. Perfect for summer barbecues or weeknight dinners, this vegan-friendly sauce is simple to whip up with pantry staples and adds a professional touch to any meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine V8 vegetable juice, orange marmalade, and Dijon-style mustard in a 1 1/2-quart saucepan.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to a glaze-like consistency, stirring frequently.

Note

Use this sauce to baste chicken, pork chops, or turkey cutlets during the last 2-3 minutes of broiling or grilling to prevent burning.

The sauce yields approximately 1 cup. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before using.

For a smoother texture, you can blend the sauce with an immersion blender before serving, though small bits of fruit from the marmalade add nice texture.
