Homemade Whole Grain Mustard
Description
Yellow and brown mustard seeds are combined in a bowl with apple cider vinegar and beer and soaked covered at room temperature for 12 hours. The soaking softens the seeds and allows them to absorb the liquids, which form the flavor base. After soaking, dark brown sugar, honey, and salt are added and the mixture pulse-processed to create a slightly coarse texture while combining the flavors. This results in a mustard with grainy texture and balanced sharpness with sweetness.
Transferred to a sterilized jar and refrigerated, the mustard mellows and intensifies over 2 weeks before use. It remains good for up to 6 months when refrigerated. The use of beer adds a subtle maltiness complementing the sharpness of the mustard and acidity of the vinegar. This whole grain version retains seed texture, unlike smooth mustards, and can be used for sandwich spreads, glazes, or dressings requiring both heat and texture.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard seeds
- 1/4 cup mustard seeds brown variety
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup beer Corona or pale ale
- 1 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Pour both yellow and brown mustard seeds into a small mixing bowl or measuring bowl and pour vinegar and beer over. Whisk together to blend and cover the mixture with plastic wrap. Set aside on the countertop for 12 hours until the liquid has been absorbed.
- Pour soaked seeds into a food processor with the remaining ingredients. Pulse several times to mix then process for a minute.
- Pour mixture into a sterilized glass jar and refrigerate. Let rest and mellow for 2 weeks in the fridge before using. The mustard will keep for up to 6 months covered and refrigerated. This makes about 1 1/2 cups.
