How to Make Nif's Homemade Grainy Mustard Great Gift Idea

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons mustard powder, 1 tablespoon brown mustard seeds, and 1/4 cup water. Set aside for at least 15 minutes to allow the mustard powder to bloom.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup honey, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup white wine vinegar (optional).
  3. Bring the vinegar mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Gradually whisk the mustard mixture (from step 1) into the simmering vinegar mixture.
  5. Continue to whisk constantly and bring the combined mixture to a gentle boil. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
  6. Carefully transfer the mustard mixture to a blender. Securely lid the blender and pulse several times until you reach your desired consistency. For a coarser mustard, pulse fewer times. (Taste and adjust seasonings as needed at this point)
  7. Pour the mustard into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
  8. Seal the jars tightly. Let cool completely at room temperature.
  9. Once completely cool, refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving. The flavor will improve even more over time. Enjoy!
