Elevate your condiment game with this bold and aromatic Brandied Mustard—a homemade spread that blends the nutty heat of yellow and brown mustard seeds with the smooth kick of brandy. Infused with apple cider vinegar, a touch of honey, and rich brown sugar, this artisan mustard strikes a perfect balance between tangy, sweet, and savory. The soaking process ensures a velvety texture, while a quick simmer intensifies the flavors, leaving you with a gourmet condiment that’s perfect for charcuterie boards, gourmet sandwiches, or as a glaze for roasted meats. Easy to make and shelf-stable for up to six months, this homemade mustard will redefine how you elevate your favorite dishes.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the yellow mustard seeds, brown mustard seeds, and the dry mustard powder.
Pour the apple cider vinegar and water over the mustard mixture. Stir to combine. Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or overnight, to allow the seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
After soaking, transfer the mustard mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth or until your desired level of graininess is achieved.
Pour the mustard mixture into a medium saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Stir in the brandy, honey, brown sugar, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 8-10 minutes, until the mustard thickens to your liking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mustard cool slightly. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or sweetness as needed.
Transfer the brandied mustard to sterilized jars or airtight containers. Let it cool completely before sealing.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. For best flavor, let the mustard sit for at least 24 hours before using to allow the flavors to meld.
