Homemade Mustard—German Style
Homemade Mustard--- German Style
We love to make our own mustard--why not? It's so easy and tastes soooo good!
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard seeds
- 2 Tbsp brown mustard seeds
- 1/4 cup mustard powder
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1 white onion, small (finely minced)
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar (firmly packed)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp tarragon
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
In a small bowl, combine mustard seed and dry mustard. Set aside
In a 1-2 quart non aluminum pan, combine remaining ingredients. Simmer uncovered on medium heat until reduced by half, 10-15 minutes. Pour the mixture into the mustard mixture. Let mixture soak at room temperature 24-48 hours; adding additional vinegar if necessary in order to maintain enough liquid to cover seeds.
Process the seeds and mixture in a blender or food processor until pureed to the texture you like--this can take at least 3-4 minutes.
The mixture will thicken upon standing.
If it gets too thick after a few days, stir in additional vinegar. Scrape mustard into clean, dry jars; cover tightly and age at least 3 days.
