Description

This homemade Honey Mustard strikes the perfect balance between sweet and tangy. It starts with a base of dry spices, including mustard powder and turmeric, which are hydrated and allowed to rest to develop a deep, mellow flavor. The mixture is then gently cooked with honey and cider vinegar, creating a smooth, glossy sauce that thickens beautifully as it cools. Unlike store-bought versions, this recipe offers a brighter acidity and a more robust mustard kick. It is incredibly versatile, serving as an excellent dip for pretzels and chicken wings, a glaze for roasted pork or ham, or a creamy dressing for slaws and salads. The natural sweetness of the honey complements the sharp vinegar, making it a crowd-pleasing addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, mustard powder, and turmeric.
  2. Stir in the water until a smooth paste forms.
  3. Cover and let the mixture stand at room temperature for 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Place the top of a double boiler over a pot of gently boiling water.
  5. Add the rested mustard paste, honey, and cider vinegar to the top of the double boiler.
  6. Whisk constantly over the steam until the mixture just begins to thicken, about 3 minutes.
  7. Continue cooking and whisking constantly for 2 minutes longer until the sauce is slightly thickened and glossy.
  8. Remove from heat and pour the hot mustard into clean, sterilized storage jars.
