Description
This Jalapeño Honey Mustard Sauce is bold, sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy. It blends smooth mustard, golden honey, and fresh jalapeño for a versatile dip, spread, or glaze.
Ingredients
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1/4 cup honey
1 fresh jalapeño, finely minced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Finely mince the fresh jalapeño. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder sauce or leave them in for more heat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and yellow mustard. Mix until smooth and fully blended.
- Add the honey, apple cider vinegar, and mayonnaise. Whisk until the mixture becomes creamy and cohesive.
- Stir in the minced jalapeño, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Stir before serving and adjust seasoning if needed.
Notes
For extra texture, substitute whole grain mustard for Dijon.
Add a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
Increase honey for more sweetness or add extra vinegar for more tang.
For a creamier sauce, add extra mayonnaise or a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
Blend in a food processor for a smoother consistency.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Serve cold or at room temperature; do not reheat.
