Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard seeds
  • 1/4 cup brown mustard seeds
  • 2 tablespoons dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar I use organic, such as Bragg
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure cane sugar

Instructions

  • Overview: Soak seeds in wine and vinegar; shake, set aside two days. Use a blender and pulse to a nice consistency with lots of whole seeds. Store in a glass container in the fridge - give it 3 days to mellow - and enjoy!
  • Place mustard seeds, white wine, and apple cider vinegar in a 2 cup sterile glass jar with a tight lid. Give a shake and place in a dark place at room temperature for two days to soak.
  • Strain the mixture SAVING the Liquid. Add the mixture to the carafe of a blender (can use small food processor) with FOUR tablespoons of the reserved liquid and 2 tablespoons of Filtered Water.
    Add in sea salt and pure cane sugar, and pulse to a puree - so that approximately half of the seeds are blended into a paste, and half are still whole.
  • Add to a sterile 2 cup glass container (I use a Ball canning jar.)
    Refrigerate to mellow the mustard. Ready to use in three days! Will mellow a bit with time. This mustard is a bit spicy and assertive - a little in goes a long way!

Tips:

  • Great in so many recipes - and make again / great for gift giving.
    Add to Vinaigrettes, Indian curries, pickling brines, sandwich topping, marinades, sauces, dips and more!
