Step 1

Start by combining the mustard, honey, vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce in a bowl. Give everything a good stir until it’s all well mixed. Once it’s combined, pour the sauce into jars and seal them tightly. Pop the jars in the fridge and let the flavors mingle for at least a day before you use it. This resting time really helps the sauce develop a deeper, richer taste. When you’re ready, just grab a jar and enjoy!
