Step 1: Gather all your ingredients and place a medium-sized mixing bowl on your counter. Measure out 1 cup of mayonnaise and add it to the bowl.
Step 2: Add ½ cup of spicy brown mustard to the bowl with the mayonnaise. The spicy brown mustard is key to achieving that authentic McAlister’s copycat honey mustard recipe flavor.
Step 3: Measure 4 tablespoons of honey and pour it into the bowl. If your honey has crystallized, warm it slightly in the microwave for easier mixing.
Step 4: Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of black pepper and ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper. These spices provide the signature warmth and depth that sets this honey mustard apart.
Step 5: Using a whisk or sturdy spoon, mix all ingredients together vigorously until the sauce becomes completely smooth and uniform in color. Make sure there are no streaks of mayonnaise or pockets of honey remaining.
Step 6: Taste your homemade honey mustard and adjust seasonings if desired. If you prefer it sweeter, add another tablespoon of honey; for more heat, increase the cayenne pepper slightly.
Step 7: Transfer the finished sauce to an airtight container. Your mcalister’s honey mustard is now ready to use immediately or can be refrigerated for later use.
