Note

Cover and refrigerate at least overnight before using to allow flavors to meld. The mustard will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

For a quick relish, combine 1/2 cup finely chopped dill pickles with 1/4 cup of this Sweet and Simple Honey Mustard in a small bowl. Makes about 3/4 cup.

The sauce relies on flour for thickening. If you prefer a gluten-free version, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with an equal amount of cornstarch or arrowroot powder, though you may need to adjust the water quantity slightly.
