Ingredients for homemade Honey Mustard Sauce

  • Honey: Use a natural honey for the best flavor and sweetness rather than an artificial one.

How long does it keep?

Once you have made your honey mustard sauce, transfer it to a sealable jar and keep it refrigerated for up to two weeks. Give it a stir before using it if the ingredients have separated. It’s best not to freeze this sauce as it contains mayonnaise.

Can you make it without mayonnaise?

The mayonnaise in this honey mustard dipping sauce helps to make it creamy and thick, without it you will have a thinner dressing or marinade. If you want to make this healthier, you can use low fat mayo, though this can result in a runnier sauce, otherwise sour cream or plain yogurt will make great replacements.
