Homemade Whole Grain Mustard
- 4 tbsp Mustard seeds (yellow or yellow/brown mix)
- 4 tbsp Vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar, white wine or rice vinegar)
- 2 tbsp Water, wine or beer
- 1 tsp Sugar or honey (add more for sweeter mustard )
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Put mustard seeds, vinegar and water/beer/wine in a a small bowl or jar.
- Cover lightly and let sit at room temperature for a day.
- The seeds will plump up and soften after soaking up the liquid.
- Add sugar/honey and salt.
- You can make a honey mustard by adding extra honey.
- Brown sugar is nice too!
- Process in a food processor or blender to desired consistency.
- For something Dijon-like, process to a paste, or you could even choose to leave the mustard seeds whole.
- I usually go for somewhere in between.
- Adjust sweetness and saltiness if necessary.
- Transfer to a glass jar (glass is better because plastic and metal can add weird flavors to the mustard).
- Let the mustard sit for a few days to "ripen" in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
- It will be a little bitter at first, but this will go away after aging.
- Letting it sit at room temperature will result in a spicier mustard and refrigerating will stop the formation of spicy compounds.
- Again, adjust and try it as it goes until you get the flavor you like!
- Refrigerate for up to 2 months.
