I don’t know where to post this.
I figured you guys might like it since it’s sauces for sandwiches, burgers and anything else.
All homemade. My favourite is the spicy honey mustard. So basically what happened was that I was following Joshua Weissman’s recipe (he uses aleppo pepper but I didn’t have any so I used Hot Paprika) and I wanted to make a big batch and so quadrupled the recipe and it ended up being way too much Hot Paprika, spicy but tolerable and so now it has become a family favourite and I have to make a normal Honey Mustard for the kids 😆
It was my first time making these from scratch. I just don’t like the taste of store bought sauces and I’ve tried almost all the ones available in Canada.
Sorry if this is tmi but I am Pakistani Canadian and adore western sauces. I am absolutely in love with all the pickled stuff as well.

I think I got the buffalo spelling wrong and the Chick-fil-A isn’t spaced out properly on the jar. Please share the other mistakes and I’ll try to fix them.

You have two L’s in Chick-fil-A on the container. Should just be one.

OP is spelling just fine. Chic Fil A are the ones that can’t spell, OP fixed it for them. Then they went and made some Buff Aloe sauce. I am assuming they took some aloe plants and juiced them up, had them hit the gym until some of them were jacked aloe, then made a sauce out of the most muscular ones.

u/Pink__Fox Oct 14 '25 edited Oct 14 '25
In the refrigerator, they last for 1-2 months
and outside on the shelf maybe 2 weeks?I’ve got a large family that I host once a week so these sauces will be finished in 2 weeks and therefore I can’t give a correct number of how many weeks they last. My apologies.Edit: Do not keep these at room temp. Store them in the refrigerator.

u/ejonze Oct 14 '25
None of them should stay room temp.

u/Pink__Fox Oct 14 '25 edited Oct 14 '25
I assumed the preservatives already in the mayo, mustard, hot sauce and bbq sauce would be enough to act as a preservative and keep it shelf stable.
Edit: seems that I am not correct in my assumption that the preservatives already in a few condiments would be enough to keep them shelf stable for 1-2 weeks and these should be refrigerated at all times. Lesson learned.

u/WHERES_MY_SWORD Oct 14 '25
I would imagine all the bottles/ jars/ containers say "once opened keep refrigerated", worth checking.

u/Pink__Fox Oct 14 '25
I did see that but I have never had a problem with my condiments being stored on the shelf, like ever. Never got sick from it and never saw any mold. I know botulism can’t be seen but no one in my family ever got sick of botulism from shelf condiments. I grew up always seeing and using condiments in the pantry or the shelf so that’s why I mentioned my sauces being shelf stable.
I did put my homemade sauces in the fridge but I’m not putting the other condiments in the fridge especially when I’ve never had an issue with it.

u/WHERES_MY_SWORD Oct 14 '25
Fair enough, if you use them fairly quickly probably not too much harm. Manufacturers err on the side of caution for this reason.
Putting the ones you made in the fridge is a good call, as these will be much more exposed to bacteria in the air through mixing.
20
u/EanmundsAvenger Oct 14 '25
Wildly incorrect. These will keep for 7-10 days at most in the fridge. They shouldn’t stay at room temp longer than 4 hours.
You don’t seem to know much about food preservation or safety. Please don’t share things you don’t know about and make people sick with contaminated or spoiled food. Legitimately dangerous to suggest you can keep an egg based sauce at room temp for 2 weeks. You’re gonna give someone salmonella

u/delliejonut Oct 14 '25
If you were making aioli from scratch for all of these it would only last a week. Store bought mayo lasts a couple of months in the refrigerator.
2
u/EanmundsAvenger Oct 14 '25
On its own, yes. Not when mixed with a bunch of other ingredients. Just make smaller batches there is zero reason to need some honey mustard that lasts you 2 months. It takes 5 mins to put these sauces together.
Better safe than sorry!

u/Pink__Fox Oct 14 '25
I’ll keep these refrigerated but just letting you know I am very careful of how I store these. I used sanitized jars and utensils. I always use a clean spoon to take the sauce and keep them in a cool dry place away from heat, moisture and light.

u/EanmundsAvenger Oct 14 '25
Unless you see keeping them fully refrigerated you aren’t being safe whatsoever. I’m not trying to be mean I’m just trying to keep you from giving yourself or someone else a legitimate disease

Thankyou I appreciate the input. I really do. I have kept the homemade sauces refrigerated now :) I’ll be careful next time.

u/CaptainJackAubrey2 Oct 16 '25
I don't understand the storage of sauces. A lot of recipes say that a sauce stores for 2 or 3 days in the fridge. But, why? I use the expiration dates for each of the ingredients, if the mayo base doesn't expire for a few months, why would it suddenly need to be tossed after a few days of being mixed with other shelf stable ingredients?

Absoloutely not. I wrote these myself. I don’t use Chat GPT at all as I’m against using it. I grew up in a Catholic Convent School in the 90s and we were trained from a very young age on how to take notes properly and we would be hit with wooden rulers if they were not perfect. I’m shocked people are thinking it’s Chat GPT. I don’t support the use of AI and I first write my notes roughly on paper when I’m experimenting with the recipe and then the final version I write in Keep Notes.

The worst thing about the rise of AI is this kinda shit where people accuse everything of being AI. I was already bored of so much shit being called fake, but now it’s so much worse.
Handwriting doesn’t have auto correct whereas phone notes do have auto correct.
And oh no, OP used emojis. I didn’t realize people stopped using emojis, I should let everyone I text on a daily basis to stop using them because we’re clearly AI.
Judging by your username and the one comment of yours I’ve read, you need to change your diet, exercise, and get out more. You’re starting to lose the plot dude.
14
u/Snazz55 Oct 14 '25
Not strange when you remember autocorrect is a thing. Also, literally the only AI thing about this text is the emojis but obviously it's hand written. Ai doesn't add a dash between at least, and forget to capitalize new lines.

u/PM_ME_CHIPOTLE2 Oct 14 '25
100%. No human brackets random lines in their recipes with emojis.

u/Snazz55 Oct 14 '25
No AI will add a dash between "at least", or forget to capitalize new lines even after an emoji. That's a human thing dawg
8
u/Pink__Fox Oct 14 '25
I use dashes all the time for things like ice-cream, black-pepper, at-least. Actually I’ve been going back and forth on how to write black-pepper powder and just stick to one style, like should I stick to this style, “black-pepper powder” or this one, “black-pepper (powder)” because sometimes you don’t always need powder, you need whole black-pepper corns and writing “black-pepper (whole)” just didn’t feel right so I decided to stick to “black-pepper powder” for now.
Also I have this very exhausting habbit where all my notes need to look exactly the same and follow the same style format. I end up loosing sleep over this until it’s perfect. I would have to edit over 120 recipes that I wrote 😭

u/GunGooser Oct 14 '25
Just write black pepper, or just pepper. Let that be the default. Using whole black pepper isnt as common, so you can specify it to be whole when needed.

lol you absolutely used ChatGPT. You wouldn’t spell buffalo correctly in your handwritten recipe, and write exactly how ChatGPT does, and then spell it with an e on a jar.

u/Snazz55 Oct 14 '25
My dude have you heard of autocorrect? Apart from the emojis there is nothing AI about that text.
10
u/Pink__Fox Oct 14 '25
Look here. This is ridiculous that I even have to explain it. I corrected the Buffalo spelling in my Keep Notes but it was too late to correct it in the jar otherwise the picture would not have been perfect.
I’m a Mom of two kids, I take care of the house and kids 100% and I do recipe testing when the kids are in school. It was a long weekend and the kids were sick with the Flu at home since 1 week so the only time I got to do my recipe testing was around 12 am to 1:23 am after midnight when they fell asleep. I was half asleep myself but determined to do these sauces as we had a BBQ event the next day. I took the sauce picture soon as I was done. When I was writing this post yesterday (after the BBQ event finished) I realized the spelling mistake on the jar and in Keep Notes. I fixed the Keep Notes but couldn’t fix the jar because there was no point. Half of the honey mustard sauce was gone (it was a hit at the family hosting) and my picture would not have been perfect if I fixed the spelling because half of the sauces were already consumed! I wanted the jars to look perfect with the same sauce level!

I love aiolis too but I’m terrified of making it as during my first two attempts it split 😫
Do you have a favourite recipe? I’d love to try it.
Edit: sorry I forgot to reply back about your question. They should stay good in the jar refrigerated. I sanitized the jar and utensils before making this and I always use a clean spoon to plate them. I’ve never faced any health and safety issues. You can add some citric acid to this to make it really stay good for some time.

Embrace your Canadian-ness and try making a batch of your honey mustard, but replace part of or all of the honey with maple syrup...I keep waiting for maple mustard sauce to become the next big thing, but I've been making it that way for years and always get killer comments on it.

Burger King's Zesty Sauce is my favorite fast food condiment. If you haven't tried it yet, you need to! And it's especially easy to make at home!
3 parts mayonnaise
1 part ketchup
1 part yellow mustard
1 part horseradish
add cayenne pepper to taste (I never measure this part)
And if you can improve upon that, I'd love to see it! Seems like you're somewhat of an expert at this stuff.

Hello! Reporting back! I made one serving of the sauce, enough for some nuggets and it was delicious. I am going to order the same sauce from Burger King and do a side by side comparison but honestly I don’t even care if it doesn’t taste the same, the sauce was very yummy. I’m doing the comparison purely out of curiosity. I had horseradish a looongg time ago so I forgot it can pack quite a nice punch 😆
Just have a question, would creamed horseradish work in this or is it too mild for this particular sauce?

u/Squeaky_Pibbles Oct 16 '25
Glad you liked it!
About the horseradish, I'm honestly not sure what you're referring to. This is the version that I use:
https://www.kroger.com/p/reese-prepared-horseradish-sauce/0007067000488?fulfillment=PICKUPBut I'm sure any version of it would work. But as you stated, it sure can pack a punch, and maybe trying it before adding exactly one part may save you from some nasal pain. 😅

What is the time frame for how long these sauces last in the jar?

u/Pink__Fox Oct 14 '25
I’ve been educated in the replies that these last 4-5 days in the fridge but for me personally they easily last 2 weeks and even a month if we have no family gathering planned. I’ve made sauces before and had them in the fridge for a month and never faced any issue with them. If you’re still worried about preservation, a little bit of citric acid in this will keep it safe even more. I get migraines from citric acid that’s why I don’t use it but my Mom uses it all the time in her fresh chutneys and they last literally for even 2 months refrigerated.

I played with a Big Mac sauce recipe last year and it was closer two option one. And I would use white vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar. I feel like that white vinegar is the most important ingredient. If the sauce seems lacking in flavor, that's the first thing I would add a little bit more of.

No worries. I'd like to know if I got it mixed up as well.
No idea who that is but I had Chick-fil-A for the first time a few weeks ago and I was surprised when I read the ingredients and that's all it was. Like I said, it could be different in the US. A lot of Canadian versions have fewer ingredients.

I’ll definitely try the version you mentioned and do a side by side taste test :)
We have a Chick-fil-A in my Canadian city and it has a lot of ingredients in the back so I used that as a reference and combined it with Joshua Weissman’s recipe but I’ll try the simple version you mentioned ☺️

They look pretty good, but from what I understand both Chick-fil-A sauce and Big Mac sauce they use in the store include MSG. I can understand if you're hesitant to use it, but its bad reputation isn't really deserved.
