Note

Storage: Transfer the mustard to an airtight jar and refrigerate. It can be prepared up to one week ahead of time.

Serving Tip: Allow the mustard to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavor and improve spreadability.

Substitution: If you do not have Ancho chile powder, you can substitute with chipotle powder for a smokier heat, or paprika for a milder flavor without the smoke.

Variations: For a sweeter profile, stir in a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar for extra brightness.
