Honey sauce

In our household we have a slight problem when it's about sweet sauces, and using fruit in meals. I do like that from time to time but my husband doesn't.

Yesterday I have made a honey sauce....very simple and delicious.
For 4 persons:

Shopping list
25 gr Unsalted real butter
4 White onions
4 Cloves of garlic
1-2 Tablespoons of clear honey
Vinegar

Peel and cut the onions and garlic in chunks
Melt butter in the sauce pan and add onions and garlic.
Stirr from time to time. Onions need to be brownish
Then add the honey and the vinegar
I have used red wine vinegar but any other good vinegar will do.

Tip: Add first 1 tablespoon honey and a little vinegar and taste it and if necessary add some more.

Tip: If you have an orange in the fridge, press and cook the juice with this as well. (Don't think juice from the carton will taste nice).

I would even put a little branch of rosemary in it for that little extra.
This sauce is nice with duck-breast fillet or with ham.

  1. Heerlijk, sla het recept meteen op. Waarom witte uien, kan het niet met andere?

  2. Dank je René. Witte, in 't Frans noemen we die geel, zijn zoeter van smaak en lenen zich daardoor beter voor dit soort sauzen, waarbij de uien moeten carameliseren.
