Makes 2 1/2 cups
½ cup yellow mustard seeds
½ cup brown mustard seeds
1 cup plus 6 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
½ cup honey
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon (5 grams) salt
ingredients
steps
Note: Begin recipe 2 weeks before using.
- In a bowl or jar, combine mustard seeds and 1 cup of the vinegar and cover. Allow seeds to soak overnight at room temperature. They will absorb nearly all the vinegar.
- Add half the soaked seeds, remaining 6 tablespoons vinegar, and honey to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
- In a bowl, combine puree with remaining soaked seeds, brown sugar, and salt. Transfer to a jar, cover, and refrigerate for 2 weeks to allow harshness and heat of seeds to mellow. After that time, mustard will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 months.
