Achiote honey glaze is a sweet, smoky, and slightly spicy glaze that is perfect for pork, chicken, and fish. The key ingredients in achiote honey glaze are achiote paste, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Achiote paste is made from the seeds of the achiote tree, and it has a deep red color and a slightly earthy flavor. Honey adds sweetness and helps to caramelize the glaze, while apple cider vinegar adds a bit of tanginess. In addition to these key ingredients, achiote honey glaze can also include spices like cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder.
