Pineapple-Mustard Sauce

Putting a tropical twist on traditional honey-mustard sauce, this recipe can be used to dress up just about anything - ham, chicken, rice, oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese, you name it! It could even be tossed with fresh or canned fruit (according to your restrictions) in a fruit salad. In the quantities listed below, the mustard is very mild, adding only a hint of flavor. If desired, this could be increased to provide more of a kick. Thank you to JTsMom on Genius Kitchen for the original recipe!
