Apple Glaze
This works with most any jelly/jam.
Taste great on both pork and poultry.

1C Apple jelly
Dijon mustard, start with 1/2t and add 1/4t increments to your liking.
Lemon juice, start with 1/2t and add 1/4t increments to your liking.

In a small sauce pan melt the apple jelly, incrementally add the Dijon mustard and lemon juice.
Bring to a fast simmer, allow to thicken while stirring often and you've your glaze.

I find 3-4 or more applications to work best, builds up a nice glaze.
Careful not to burn the glaze after application.
Beware of direct heat on a grill or 260°+ in the smoker.
I often set high sugar glazes like this in the smoker at 275°-300° without trouble, but I keep a close eye on it.

If you get several layers on and set it well, it'll have an almost hard candy crunch to it.

Yum! Ive done several glaze using jelly and cuting it with a little apple cider vinegar. I bet the mustard in this one really sets it off. Thanks for sharing chile!
