2 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoon dijon mustard
½-¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

Whisk all the ingredients together in a small saucepan off the heat.
½ cup honey, ¾ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoon cornstarch, 2 teaspoon dijon mustard, ½-¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Whisk the glaze really well before and during cooking to prevent the cornstarch from clumping.
Simmer the sauce just for a minute. If you go too long, it will become too thick.
When reheating, use a low heat on the stove or half power in the microwave until it is loose enough to brush.

Storage and Reheating

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks. When ready to use, reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave on half power until it is loose.
