Savory Apricot Mustard Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the apricot jam, mustard, vinegar and lots of black pepper in the jam jar or a mason jar. Shake until well blended.
• Use the glaze like you would a BBQ sauce. Brush on or pour over pieces of grilled or pan-seared chicken, pork chop or salmon just before it's done cooking and let cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Whisk apricot preserves in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Add mustard and whisk until beginning to simmer, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Stir in chopped rosemary. Season glaze to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Stir over medium heat until heated through.)
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausages and sauté until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to saucepan with glaze. Stir over medium heat until sausages are glazed, about 1 minute. Transfer to platter and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Place the chicken on a rimmed cookie sheet or baking dish lined with foil or parchment paper, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake for 10 minutes.
• While the chicken is baking, whisk together the jam, mustard, water, thyme, and a little salt and pepper in a small saucepan over low heat for about 3 minutes. It should be slightly syrupy.
• Pull the chicken out of the oven and pour the sauce on top. Continue baking for another 15 minutes. For the last 3 minutes, place the chicken under the broiler on the top rack so it gets golden and crispy looking.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together sour cream, Dijon and whole-grain mustards, and jam until blended. Serve with Sauteed Pork Chops, grilled chicken, or turkey cutlets. Refrigerate, covered, up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with rack in lowest position. Line a large roasting pan with aluminum foil; place roasting rack in pan.
• With a sharp knife, trim fat, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick layer. Lightly score fat in a diamond pattern (do not cut into meat). Place ham, fat side up, on rack; roast 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine jam and mustard (they can be mixed and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead). Transfer 1/2 cup mixture to a small bowl to glaze ham. Set aside saucepan with remaining mixture.
• After 1 hour, brush ham with glaze. Repeat every 15 minutes until brown and shiny, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part, avoiding bone, registers 130 degrees, about 1 hour more (if glaze starts to burn, tent ham with buttered foil). Discard unused glaze. Remove ham from oven; cover loosely with buttered foil to keep warm. Temperature will then rise another 5 to 10 degrees.
• Bring jam mixture in saucepan to a boil. Carve ham, reserving bone and 2 cups of meat for Split Pea Soup. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a small bowl, mix together preserves, honey mustard, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic.
• Place salmon fillet on baking sheet.
• Spoon sauce over salmon.
• Bake for 15-18 minutes or until salmon is fully cooked, flaking when cut with a fork.
