honey glaze

Sugary amber finish

A honey glaze is a sweet, glossy coating made primarily from honey, often combined with butter, mustard, or spices, applied to meats or baked goods before or during cooking.

The sugars caramelize under heat, creating a shiny finish and slightly sticky surface: honey-glazed ham, honey-glazed carrots.

The term also describes similar sweet coatings on doughnuts and pastries.
