Pro Tips
- Heating up the honey thins it a bit - so it will be thinner if you gently simmer it up on a stovetop instead of mixing the ingredients in a bowl.
- To make this version vegan or vegetarian, you can use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey.
- You can easily double or triple this recipe if you are making this for a crowd.
- This recipe is great to make ahead - just refrigerate and then reheat before serving.
