How to Make Bourbon honey mustard sauce

• In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
• Once the butter has melted, add the Dijon mustard, honey, and bourbon to the saucepan. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
• Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, for about 5-7 minutes or until the sauce slightly thickens.
• Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking the sauce for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to reach the desired consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon.
• Add the lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper to the sauce. Stir to incorporate the flavors and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before transferring it to a glass jar or container.
• Once the sauce has cooled, it’s ready to be served.
