Method
 

  1. Begin by finely dicing the jalapenos, ensuring you adjust spiciness by removing the seeds and membranes if desired. Next, mince 2 cloves of fresh garlic to amplify the flavor profile.
  2. In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the diced jalapenos and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they soften and become fragrant. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, stirring frequently until the garlic is aromatic and slightly golden, then remove from heat.
  3. Off the heat, stir in ¼ cup Dijon mustard, ¼ cup yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended. Reheat the mixture on low for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you desire a thinner consistency, add water gradually until you reach your preferred thickness.
  4. Once heated through, let the sauce cool completely in the skillet. After cooling, taste your Zesty Jalapeno Honey Mustard Sauce and adjust the seasonings if necessary. Finally, transfer the sauce to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.
