Homemade Honey Mustard Recipe

To make this homemade honey mustard recipe, you’ll need to have some sterilized jars. 

You can use recycled jars, and sterilize them for your own use, provided that the jars are in good condition, with no cracks or chips, and provided that they have secure fitting lids, (although it is often best to buy new lids, because the seals in the lids can become tainted by the previous contents of the jar).

Alternatively, reduce the quantities and only make a little and use all of it on the same day.


Once made, this homemade honey mustard can be stored in the refrigerator.  However, do consume it within a month.

Tips:

  • Be sure to label the jar with the date it was made, and an expiry date (but hopefully, you’ll have eaten it well before then!).
  • Remember, you can adjust the ingredients to your own taste (we all have our own views of what tastes good!), but try adding a little at a time of your target ingredient.
