Dijon Mustard

Yields 2 cups of prepared mustard

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup brown mustard seeds
• 1/2 cup yellow mustard seeds
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 2/3 cup white wine vinegar
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp white pepper
• 1-2 tsp brown sugar (optional)

Directions

1. Add mustard seeds, salt, and pepper to a bowl
2. Add wine and vinegar and mix
3. Cover and let sit at room temperature at least 8-12 hours (Overnight is ideal) - the seeds will about double in size
4. Blend mustard to desired consistency
5. Taste, and add brown sugar if desired
6. Cover, and let sit in the fridge 2-4 days to mellow (this removes the bitterness)
7. Optional: Blend again, if you want to try and get it smoother.

Notes

• Brown mustard seeds are spicier, you can adjust the ratio of seeds to fit your desired spiciness level
• Can be used right away but letting it mellow in the fridge for a few days will improve the flavor (it will be very bitter at first, and should mellow after 4-5 days)
• Keep refrigerated, stores for a couple months.
