- 1 3/4 cups mustard powder
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 onion
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 5 fresh garlic cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 3/4 cup honey
Instructions:
-
Prepare Mustard Paste:
In a small bowl, combine water and mustard powder, stirring until smooth to create a mustard paste. -
Simmer Aromatic Blend:
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine dry white wine, white wine vinegar, chopped onion, sugar, salt, fresh garlic cloves (minced), bay leaves, and allspice. Leave out the honey for now.- Cook over medium heat, uncovered, until the mixture reduces by half, which should take approximately 10-15 minutes.
-
Strain and Blend:
Once the liquid has reduced, pour it through a strainer into the prepared mustard/water paste. Whisk or stir the mixture until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. -
Thicken the Mixture:
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes. The mixture will begin to thicken slightly, but it will continue to thicken as it cools. -
Add Honey:
Stir in the honey until fully incorporated. The honey adds sweetness and depth to the mustard’s flavor profile. -
Cool and Store:
Allow the mustard to cool completely before transferring it to clean glass jars. Once cooled, cover the jars tightly and store them in the refrigerator. -
