Sweet Mustard Sauce 1

How to make the Sweet Mustard Sauce 1:

This recipe comes to us from the Renaissance; today it is very seldom used. This sauce is similar to agrodolce; instead of vinegar, mustard is used, and frequently honey replaces sugar. Unsweetened chocolate may be added for strong meats such as wild boar.

Melt butter in a casserole. When melted add wine, let simmer for a few minutes, then add the sugar, combine well, add in lemon juice and salt. When the sauce is reduced by one third, add the mustard, mix well and remove from heat.

This sauce is excellent with boiled meats or venison.
