Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by carefully dicing your fresh jalapenos into small pieces, ensuring to remove the seeds and membranes if you prefer a milder sauce. Once chopped, set them aside on a cutting board.
- In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the diced jalapenos and sauté for about 5–7 minutes until softened and fragrant. Introduce 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for an additional minute.
- Once the garlic is aromatic, remove the saucepan from heat. In a mixing bowl, whisk together ¼ cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Pour into the saucepan with the sautéed jalapenos and garlic, stirring until smooth.
- Return the saucepan to low heat and let the mixture simmer for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally. If too thick, add a small amount of water to achieve desired texture.
- Once thickened, remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Adjust seasoning as necessary. Transfer to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.

Notes
For ultra-smooth consistency, consider blending the sauce after cooling or straining through a fine-mesh sieve. Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
