Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Yellow mustard seeds
- 3 tablespoons Brown mustard seeds
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon leaves
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the yellow mustard seeds, brown mustard seeds, white vinegar, and water.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the mustard seeds to soak for 24 to 48 hours at room temperature. The liquid should reduce and the seeds will soften during this time.
After soaking, pour the mixture into a blender or food processor.
Add the fresh tarragon leaves, honey, salt, and ground turmeric to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed for 1-2 minutes until you achieve the desired consistency. For a grainier mustard, blend for a shorter time; for a smoother mustard, blend longer.
Taste the mustard and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or honey if needed.
Transfer the mustard to a sterilized jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Allow the mustard to sit for at least 24 hours before using to let the flavors meld together.
Homemade tarragon mustard can be refrigerated for up to 1 month.
