Homemade Mustard!

This mustard is really mustardy and has a nice stone ground texture……great with thick, cheesy grilled cheese sandwiches too! Get some friends together, gather jars and the ingredients and make a big batch. This gift is perfect to have on had for gift exchanges and parties. Make sure to make enough so you can keep some!

Recipe

3 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds

2 1/2 tablespoons brown mustard seeds

1/3 cup drinking-quality white wine

1/3 cup white wine vinegar

1 shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)

Pinch ground allspice

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

In a non-reactive bowl, combine all ingredients and refrigerate overnight, covered.

Transfer the mustard mixture to a blender and process until mustard has obtained the desired texture and thickness; it is equally delicious whether you leave it chunky or smooth. Store in an airtight, non-reactive container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
