Creole Honey Mustard

I like this condiment, not because it has a real upfront honey taste like most honey mustard recipes (it doesn't) but due to the complex flavors of the shallots and green peppercorns.  This is a nice sauce for sandwiches and for fried fish..sure beats tartar sauce.

• 3T  shallots, small dice
• 3T  crushed green peppercorns 
• 1T  vegetable oil 
• 1tsp  black pepper 
• 2fl oz  Dijon 
• 6fl oz  Creole mustard
• 1C  mayo
• 1C  sour cream 
• 2fl oz  honey 
• 2ea  chipotles, steeped in a bit of white wine to soften and puree 
• 2T  chili powder  

Sweat shallots and peppercorns in the vegetable until just translucent.  Add wine and reduce to au sec (nearly all the liquid is evaporated).  Cool.  Add remaining ingredients and adjust seasoning.
