Super Quick & Versatile Maple Mustard Sauce
This sauce was developed when I created the One-Pan Chicken, Carrots & Potatoes with Maple Mustard Sauce, that happens to be an Elimination Safe Recipe.
The simple combination of maple syrup and mustard – in this case part Dijon and part coarse ground mustard – is so easy and yet so flavorful that we decided we had to bring it to you as a stand-alone recipe.
We loved it so much with chicken, we started to wonder, what else could it enhance? Turns out it is a truly fabulous glaze for pork, as in our Pork Loin with Maple Mustard Sauce.
Just How Versatile is It?
We like it paired with foods as they cook as well as a slather to go on after the protein is done. Try it on salmon steaks, ham or even as a condiment for turkey burgers.
Make sure to use pure maple syrup, of course. Sometimes if we are in a rush we pick up a bottle. When we are having one of our better planning days we take advantage of the bulk maple syrup in our local Whole Foods store as it is more economical.

Ack! Where did the recipe go?
I have everything out ready to cook again because I love it with pork loin, but it’s not on the page.
Hold on….PHEW! There you go:)
I really enjoy your articles and recipes. However the link to Dijon mustard is for grey poupon and the ingredients like st garlic and onion, as many Dijon mustard brands do. Please explain how it is low FODMAP, is it just because of the amount?
Yes there are many examples of products (like Worcestershire sauce) that have been lab tested and certified as low FODMAP that contain garlic and/or onion (and other typically considered high FODMAP ingredients) due to the servings size. Our articles on condiments and serving sizes will clarify. Also our article on High FODMAP Foods with Low FODMAP serving sizes might be a good read for you as well.
