Honey mustard is a type of mustard that’s made with a combination of herbs and spices, blended into a mustard base that’s sweetened with honey. It’s sweeter than sharp and has a little sharpness.
Honey mustard is popular as a condiment for sandwiches, as a dipping sauce for pretzels or stick snacks, or as a flavoring that is brushed on meat near the end of the cooking process.
Honey mustard sauce is made from simple ingredients like honey, mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, and a couple of spices. It’s sweet, tangy, and creamy.
Honey mustard can also refer to mustard raw honey, which is a white/off-white, thick, crystallized honey from the mustard fields in the north of India. It has a slightly complex, sharp flavor and is the sweetest of all honey varietals.
