How to Make French Style Mustard

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of dry mustard seeds, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup of white wine vinegar.
  3. Slowly whisk the egg and vinegar mixture into the dry ingredients in the saucepan, stirring constantly. Cook over moderate heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth (about 15-20 minutes). If the mixture is not completely smooth, use a whisk to blend it thoroughly.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  5. For a spicy variation, stir in 4 teaspoons of drained, rinsed, and crushed green peppercorns once cooled.
  6. Transfer the mustard to a clean, sterilized jar. To maintain freshness, place a slice of lemon on top before sealing and refrigerating. Note: Mustard containing eggs should be consumed within 2 weeks.
