Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
For this honey mustard sauce I am using spicy brown mustard. This marinade would also work with other types of mustard, such as, yellow, Dijon, hot mustard, whole grain, or horseradish. The cinnamon in the recipe adds some nice flavor, but you can leave it out all the same. Try this recipe a few times with different types of mustard.
