This sauce is great to make at the beginning Sunday and enjoy with you favorite meats/salads all week long. It works great for dipping, but it is not to thick that you can’t use it as a dressing. Having this sauce on hand provides the perfect pop of flavor to any quick weeknight dinner. With a great sauce the different possibilities of what you can create with it are endless.During the holidays a family staple to go with the ham is my grandmothers mustard sauce and it is amazing. The original recipe whipping cream, flour, sugar and distilled vinegar along with a few other items. While this sauce is amazing the ingredient list wasn’t so stellar, so I set out to make a dairy free, grain free, sugar free paleo version of this sauce with great success.  After substituting ingredients out one by one, I was finally able to come up with the perfect combination of ingredients that kept the great taste that I love and thickness the makes it perfect for dipping.

How to make:

You start with Nutpods creamer. Why Nutpods you ask? The creamer is thick enough to make it a good substitute to the heavy whipping cream without affecting the taste of the sauce. I have tried all the nut milks and combinations of them and this is what worked the best. If you cant get Nutpods you could substitute out a sugar free plain cashew milk, while still good it wont have quite the same consistency and taste. You heat the creamer over low heat until hot, but not boiling.Next you add honey, stirring until dissolved. Honey works great to naturally sweeten the mustard without altering the taste of it. Using maple syrup or coconut sugar, both work, but don’t give it the same taste. Then, you add Apple Cider Vinegar.  Apple Cider Vinegar is the perfect substitute for white distilled vinegar, though it does provide a stronger taste. When using it to substitute out white vinegar I suggest cutting in half then increasing it in increments till you get the desired flavor.Once you have those ingredients incorporated, you are going to use it to make your past. Combine the Arrowroot/Dry Mustard some of the sauce, making it into a paste. This will allow you to smoothly incorporate it into the sauce without getting chunks. Once you added the Mustard/Arrowroot paste and stirred it in completely you add the two egg yolks. Give it a good stir and let it simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to sit until it reaches room temperature. Store in an air-tight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to a week.Print
