Paired with shrimp toast in this book, but can also be used as a glaze for roasting meats, or in a sauté pan for shrimp to be served over rice.

1 tsp honey
1 tsp fresh ginger, minced

In a small saucepan, bring all ingredients to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until preserves are melted (approximately 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
