Spicy French Mustard Recipe

MAKES ABOUT 5 CUPS

Spicy French Mustard

Ingredients

  • 11⁄2 cups mustard seeds
  • 3⁄4 cup mustard powder
  • 3⁄4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 3⁄4 cup white wine or water
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 3 teaspoons turmeric
  • 3 tablespoons honey (for a sweeter
  • mustard), optional
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons horseradish (for
  • a spicier mustard), optional

Directions

Place mustard seeds and the next 5 ingredients in a covered jar, and allow to sit for a couple of days. The seeds will absorb almost all the liquid and soften.

If the liquid is completely absorbed and the seeds look dry, add a little cold water. Process the mustard in a food processor or blender. Add water if needed to reach the desired consistency. (I added about 1 cup.)

Add optional honey or horseradish, if desired. Place the finished mustard in jars; seal, and chill. The homemade mustard will be kept in the refrigerator for 6 months.
