2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons lemon juice, to taste

¼ teaspoon salt
1 dash ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, blend the Dijon mustard, honey, orange juice, milk, butter, and lemon juice. Season with ground mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir in the pecans.
