Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped sun dried tomatoes
- 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace by having a medium mixing bowl, whisk, cutting board, and sharp knife ready.
- Carefully wash the jalapeno pepper and pat dry with a clean paper towel. Using gloves, remove the stem, seeds, and membranes, then finely dice the jalapeno into small, uniform pieces.
- Drain and pat dry the sun-dried tomatoes, then chop them into small, fine pieces using a sharp knife.
- In the medium mixing bowl, pour the honey and Dijon mustard, whisking them together until they are completely smooth and well combined.
- Add the finely chopped jalapeno and sun-dried tomatoes into the honey mustard mixture, stirring thoroughly to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting the seasoning as needed.
- Transfer the finished sauce to a clean, airtight container or serving dish. For best flavor, let the sauce rest for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days. The sauce can be used as a dip, spread, or condiment for various dishes.
Tips
- Wear kitchen gloves when handling jalapenos to prevent skin irritation from the capsaicin.
- For a milder sauce, remove all seeds and membranes from the jalapeno, or use only half a pepper.
- Use high-quality Dijon mustard for the best flavor profile.
- Let the sauce rest for at least 15-30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to fully develop and meld together.
- If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can briefly pulse the sun-dried tomatoes in a food processor before adding them to the mixture.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and the sauce will keep fresh for up to 5 days.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider using honey from local beekeepers for a more nuanced sweetness.
