Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Ground mustard powder
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground mustard powder and white vinegar. Stir until well mixed, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for at least 4 hours or, for best results, overnight. This step allows the flavors to fully develop.
After the resting period, transfer the mustard mixture to a medium-sized, heatproof saucepan.
Whisk in the granulated sugar, large eggs, and salt. Ensure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Heat the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent sticking or curdling.
Cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon but still be pourable.
Once thickened, remove the mustard from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Transfer the hot sweet mustard into sterilized jars or airtight containers and let it cool completely at room temperature before sealing.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. The flavor will continue to develop over time.
