  2. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat for about 1 minute until shimmering. Add the diced jalapenos and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly for about a minute. Whisk in 1/4 cup of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard, 1/4 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  4. Return the pan to low heat and simmer the mixture for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once your sauce has simmered, remove it from heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed and store it in an airtight container.
