Note
This recipe is inspired by a classic Howard Johnson's style mustard blend, originally shared by Gloria Pitzer.
Storage: Keep the mustard blend in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for several weeks. The flavors will deepen and meld together after chilling for a few hours or overnight.
Variations: For a milder heat, use half the amount of Dijon mustard and replace it with additional prepared mustard. For extra spice, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper.
Serving: Ideal for hot dogs, sausages, grilled chicken, or as a dipping sauce for pretzels and fries.
