Why You'll Love This Recipe

⭐️It’s deliciously hot!

⭐️It saves your pocket from buying the readymade.

⭐️You can customize it to suit your preferences.

Ingredients

  • Dijon Mustard: Ah, the French touch! Dijon elevates the flavor profile, adding a smooth, sophisticated tang.
  • Yellow Mustard: The classic store-bought ingredient! This provides a delicious mustard bite and balances the creaminess of the mayo. Swap with spicy brown mustard for a deeper, more robust flavor.
  • Jalapeños: The star of the show! They bring the heat, the zing, and a splash of color.
  • Mayonnaise: It brings in a creamy, rich texture. Substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier version.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: Adds a dash of acidity that lifts all the other flavors.
  • Garlic powder: For a robust flavor.

How To Make Jalapeno Mustard

  • Start by chopping your jalapeños finely. Keep the seeds in for a spicier kick, or remove them for a milder experience.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and yellow until smooth in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Add the minced jalapeno, apple cider vinegar, salt, and garlic powder.
  • Mix everything in a good mix until well incorporated.
  • Cover the bowl and let it chill in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours. This melding time makes all the difference!
  • Serve as a dip or dressing, and ENJOY!!!

♨️How To Adjust The Heat Level

This jalapeno mustard with a noticeable heat. However, you can make this sauce mild to moderate by adjusting the ingredients in this recipe.

Seeds and the white membrane inside the jalapeno hold most of the heat; remove them entirely and reduce the amount of jalapeno to make this dish taste to your preference.

Stir in two tablespoons of honey to balance the heat of the jalapeno and taste hot and sweet.

For this full flavor, chop the jalapenos with its seeds and ribs.

The Leftovers

Store the leftover jalapeno mustard in the refrigerater in an airtight container for about three days.

And this sauce is not a freezer-friendly recipe, as it turns grainy once frozen and thawed.

How To Use

  • Hot dogs and Sandwiches: Slather this jalapeno mustard on the hot dogs or sandwiches to make every bite a wonderful moment.
  • Deviled eggs: These taste exceptionally well with that spicy twist.
  • Sausages: Try basting them with the sauce and feel the difference.
  • Dips: Serve as it is, or add a tablespoon to your regular dip.
  • Dressings: Dressings are the best component of salad dressing.

FAQ

No worries. Stir in distilled white vinegar to the consistency you prefer.

Can I swap jalapeno with any other pepper?

Yes, you may want any spicy pepper variety like, Serrano peppers, habanero, or Carolina Reaper for a hotter kick.

Can I use this recipe for canning?

Yes, the same recipe can be used for canning.
