Simple Homemade Grainy Mustard

I found these very cute containers at Pier 1 and thought they would be perfect to fill with homemade mustard. So…I bought them.

Of course, once I get an idea in my head, I just have to make it happen.

I have made homemade mustard a couple of times, and found that my favorite is grainy mustard. So, today it’s all about making grainy mustard. I like to use a mixture of yellow and brown mustard seeds. Here’s my brown mustard seeds.

I buy frontier mustard seeds on line. Here’s the yellow and the brown seeds getting measured for the recipe.

Soak seeds in your favorite vinegar overnight. I used white wine vinegar.

Today, after a night of soaking, my seeds were ready to be whirled in the food processor.

Puree about 2/3 of the seeds with some salt and sugar… blending until it is a nice creamy mustard consistency.

Stir in the remaining 1/3 soaked grains to create a nice grainy mustard or blend all the mustard seeds if you prefer a smooth mustard.

Pop in the fridge for a day or two to let the flavors infuse before you enjoy your homemade mustard. It’s that easy. Makes great gifts, too, for your mustard-loving friends or relatives. 🙂

Simple Homemade Grainy Mustard

1/4 cup yellow mustard seeds

1/4 cup brown mustard seeds

3/4 cup white wine vinegar or your favorite

1 1/2 tsp. sugar

1 tsp. salt

(Perhaps some water to thin if too much of the vinegar evaporates overnight.)

Place the mustard seeds in glass bowl and cover with vinegar.
Cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature overnight.
Next day, blend about 2/3 of the mustard mixture with salt and sugar in food processor fit with steel blade for about 5 minutes.
Fold in the remaining 1/3 grains to make a nice grainy mustard.
Store in glass jar in fridge for about a couple days prior to using.

I hope you try to make some simple homemade mustard.
