Making Mustards at Home

HOMEMADE MUSTARD

1/4 c dried mustard

1/4 c White wine vinegar

1/3 c Dry white wine

1 tb Sugar

1/2 ts Salt

3 Egg yolks

You begin with dried mustard, adding vinegar for tartness and wine for

mellowness; then you cook with egg yolks to give the spread its velvety

smooth texture. You can season the mildly flavored mustard as suggested, or

leave if plain. For gift-giving, package the mustards in jars and identify

them with decorative labels. In top of a double boiler, stir together

mustard, vinegar, wine, sugar, and salt. Let stand, uncovered, for 2 hours.

Beat egg yolks into mustard mixture.

Place over simmering water and cook, stirring with a wire whisk, until

mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Pour into small jars and let

cool. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to a month.

Makes about 1 cup.
