Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Yes, all of them—like a flavor smoothie for your pan.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low. Stir occasionally; no cheese-whisking gymnastics needed.
Let the sauce simmer for 8–10 minutes, until it thickens to a glaze. If you trust your eyes, you’re doing it right.
Taste and adjust. Need more sweetness? add a touch more honey. Want more tang? a splash of cider vinegar will do.
Use immediately to glaze grilled or baked meat, or store in the fridge for up to a week. Heat before using if it’s been chilling like a cucumber.
