Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard seeds
- 2 tablespoons Brown mustard seeds
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the yellow mustard seeds, brown mustard seeds, apple cider vinegar, and water. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours. This allows the seeds to soften and absorb the liquid.
After the soaking period, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Pulse several times to break down the seeds until your desired consistency is achieved. For a coarse mustard, blend less; for a smoother texture, blend more.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blended mustard mixture with white wine, granulated sugar, honey, salt, and ground turmeric. Stir constantly until the mixture is heated through, about 3-5 minutes. Do not bring it to a boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, honey, or sugar to balance the flavors to your liking.
Remove from heat and let the mustard cool to room temperature. Transfer to a clean, airtight jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
The mustard can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
