It’s like a pot of gold in your fridge! Gourmet condiment makers used to market directly to me. However my attitude now is always …”I can make this at home!!” I feel empowered to have control over the textures and flavors that I desire. I finally figured out the ratio of yellow to brown mustard seeds and paired it with champagne vinegar. Grain mustard is great for the classic grilled cheese sandwich, summer potato salads, added to vinaigrettes and it’s a really surprising gift! Just make sure you plan on allowing it to age for two weeks in your fridge as the flavors will marry and relax a bit.
- ½ cup (2.5 oz) yellow mustard seeds
- ¼ cup (1.5 oz) brown mustard seeds
- ½ cup powdered mustard
- 1 cup cold water
- 6 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
Mix both yellow and brown mustard seeds in a food processor or mortar and pestle. Crush or process for at least 2 minutes, cracking and grinding some of the seeds (many will stay whole). In a separate bowl, combine powdered mustard and water, then whisk with a fork. Add the vinegar, honey, and salt. Mix in mustard seeds. The consistency will be thin at first, but don’t worry. Cover and let it sit for two weeks. Be sure to taste and add honey, vinegar or salt if needed. You can then transfer the mustard into smaller jars to keep or give away. The mustard will keep up to 2 months.
