Step-by-Step Method
Prep the vegetables
Chop the onion, bell pepper, celery, and carrot into bite-size pieces so they cook evenly.
Whisk the sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lemon juice, dry mustard, tomato sauce, and water until smooth.
Combine in the pot
Add the vegetables to a pot and pour the sauce over them. Bring it up to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Simmer low and slow
Once it starts bubbling, lower the heat and cover. Simmer for about 2 hours 30 minutes, stirring occasionally; add a splash of hot water if it reduces too much.
Season and serve
Stir in salt and black pepper during the last 10 minutes. When the sauce thickens slightly, turn off the heat and serve warm.
