Ingredients

2 quart HONEY
2 tablespoons GARLIC, CHOPPED
1 quart VEGETABLE OIL
2 tablespoons SAGE LEAVES, DRIED,CRUMBLED
1 quart LIME JUICE
1 1/2 tablespoons ROSEMARY LEAVES,DRIED
3 tablespoons DRY MUSTARD

Directions

1
In a large saucepan, combine honey, lime juice, vegetable oil, chopped garlic, crumbled dried sage, dried rosemary leaves, and dry mustard.
2
Whisk the mixture thoroughly over medium-low heat until the ingredients are well incorporated and the oil begins to emulsify with the honey and lime juice.
3
Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even heating.
4
Watch carefully to ensure the sauce does not boil, as boiling will cause the emulsion to break and the sauce to thin out.
5
Once the flavors have melded and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove the pan from the heat.
6
Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature before transferring it to airtight containers.
7
Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. The sauce can be used as a glaze, marinade, or dip for meats, fish, poultry, and vegetables.
