However, it's become evident to me that those who aren't fond of ketchup (and only use it as a side to their fries) are fervent supporters of tangy mustard. As for me, the decision is obvious: I am firmly on the side of Team Mustard.

Honey Mustard Ingredients and Details

I love this recipe because you don't need anything fancy. All you need is a jar with a lid and a few pantry staples.

• Apple cider vinegar is what's going to give this mustard the sharp undertone.
• Spices like yellow mustard seeds, paprika, turmeric for color, and sea salt.
• Honey to add sweetness.
• Lemon juice cuts the bitterness and adds a bright touch.

To make honey mustard, grab your jar and add the vinegar, water, and mustard seeds. Store the jar at room temperature for 24 hours or up to 3 days. This stage softens the seeds and enhances the twang.

Once the mustard seeds have soaked for a day or so, transfer the mixture to a blender along with the lemon juice, honey, turmeric, paprika, and salt. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until creamy.
