Homemade Whole Grain Mustard
Mustard is a versatile condiment that is loved by many. It adds flavor and tanginess to dishes like hot dogs, sandwiches, and roasted meats. However, store-bought mustard can often be high in sodium, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. So why not take matters into your own hands and make your own homemade whole grain mustard?
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Yellow mustard seeds
- 1/4 cup Brown mustard seeds
- 1/2 cup Apple Cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup Water, beer, white wine or any liguid your like
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 3 Tbsp Brown sugar
Instructions
- Pour both types of mustard seeds into a small mixing bowl and whisk together until well blended.
- Stir vinegar and beer (or water) into the mustard seeds until just combined.
- Cover the mixture and set in a cool, dry place for 12 hours or until all the liquid has been absorbed. It will be fine if you let it sit up to 24 hours.
- Pour the remaining ingredients and the mustard seed mixture into a food processor.
- Pulse mixture 5 to 6 times before running the motor for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Pour mixture into a sterilized glass jar, seal and refrigerate. Allow mustard to sit for 1 to 2 days before trying it.
- Homemade mustard can be stored in an airtight jar or container, in the refrigerator for maximum freshness. When properly stored, homemade mustard will keep for up to 1 year. The most important thing about homemade mustard is to allow it to sit for a day or two before using it. This will allow for the bitter flavor to dissipate from the mustard. If you want a spicier mustard you can add some chiles or horseradish to the mixture before grinding it. If you want a more mild flavor, you can add more sugar and honey to cut through the heat of the seeds.
