How to Make Balsamic Mustard
- Grind 1/2 cup mustard seeds in a spice grinder, mortar and pestle, or mini food processor until you achieve a fine meal-like texture.
- Transfer the ground mustard seeds to a medium bowl. Add 1/4 cup of water and stir well to combine.
- Let the mixture stand at room temperature, uncovered, for 1-4 hours, stirring occasionally. This allows the mustard to develop its flavor.
- Scrape the mustard mixture into a food processor. Add 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 clove minced garlic. Process until completely smooth.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more balsamic vinegar, honey/maple syrup, salt, or garlic to your liking. Remember that the flavors will mellow over time.
- Transfer the finished balsamic mustard to a clean, dry jar. Seal tightly with a lid.
- Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. (Note: Pantry storage is possible, but refrigeration is recommended for optimal flavor and safety.)
