How to Make Brown Honey Mustard

  1. Combine ¾ cup dry sherry and ½ cup mustard seeds in a non-reactive bowl. Let stand for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to soften the seeds.
  2. Transfer the sherry and mustard seed mixture to a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons mustard powder, ¼ cup honey, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Blend on low speed for 30 seconds to combine ingredients.
  4. With the food processor running, gradually add 1 tablespoon of sherry at a time until you reach your desired consistency. (Note: Adding more sherry will create a thinner mustard.)
  5. For easy pouring, aim for a consistency that allows you to use an inverted mustard bottle. This usually requires about 3 tablespoons of additional sherry.
  6. Blend on high speed in short bursts (about 20 seconds at a time) until you achieve your preferred texture and grain size. Remember: larger grains mean more heat!
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more honey for sweetness, mustard powder for sharpness, or salt to taste.
