Ingredients

Jalapeño Honey Mustard Sauce Ingredients

  • ½ cup Dijon Mustard
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¼ cup Honey
  • 3 Fresh Jalapeños, stemmed (seeds optional for mild heat)
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, peeled
  • ½ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients and Equipment: Collect all the ingredients and prepare your kitchen equipment, including a blender or food processor.
  2. Prepare Jalapeños: Stem the fresh jalapeños. If you prefer a milder sauce, remove the seeds carefully to reduce the heat.
  3. Peel Garlic: Peel the two garlic cloves to ensure they blend smoothly into the sauce.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In the blender or food processor, add Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, jalapeños, garlic cloves, and salt.
  5. Blend Until Smooth: Process the mixture until it is completely smooth with no chunks remaining, ensuring a creamy texture.
  6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust the salt or honey according to your preference for flavor balance.
  7. Store the Sauce: Transfer the sauce into an airtight container or glass jar to maintain freshness.
  8. Refrigerate: Keep the sauce refrigerated. Before serving, give it a good stir to mix any separated ingredients.
  9. Optional Roasted Jalapeño Variation: For a smoky twist, roast the jalapeños in a 450°F oven for 10 minutes before blending them into the sauce.

Notes

  • Removing the jalapeño seeds will reduce the spiciness of the sauce.
  • The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Use the sauce as a dip for fries, a spread for sandwiches, or a dressing for salads.
  • Roasting the jalapeños adds a smoky depth but is optional.
  • Adjust the honey amount if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet sauce.
