Honey and Clove Sauce

• 225 ml (8 fl oz) beef stock
• 4 tbsp clear honey

Place the stock, honey, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup and cloves in a small pan. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer vigorously for 5 minutes, until the mixture has thickened to a sauce consistency that coats the back of a spoon. Season to taste, then pass through a sieve into a clean pan, discarding the cloves. Reheat gently and use as required. This will keep for up to 1 w
