Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow mustard
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.3333 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until fully melted and bubbling slightly.
Add the yellow mustard and apple cider vinegar to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Mix in the brown sugar and honey, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, ground paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to incorporate all the spices.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, honey, or hot sauce to suit your preference.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm as a dipping sauce or brush over grilled meats during the final stages of cooking. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
