Homemade Grape Mustard (Dijon Mustard)

Category: Sauces & Condiments
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Black grapes 500g
Apples 2
Lemon zest 1
Red wine 1
Ground white mustard seeds 40g

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the grapes: Start by washing the grapes thoroughly and drying them with a clean towel. Next, pass them through a food mill (passaverdura) to extract the juice. Filter the juice through a fine sieve to remove any solid particles.

  2. Cook the apples: Slice the apples into thin wedges and place them in a saucepan. Pour the red wine over the apples and cook on medium heat until the wine has been completely absorbed by the apples.

  3. Combine the grape juice: Once the apples have absorbed the wine, pour in the grape juice. Allow the mixture to cook on low heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a syrupy consistency. Make sure to stir often to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

  4. Add the mustard and lemon zest: After the mixture has thickened, remove the pan from the heat. In a separate bowl, dissolve the white mustard powder in a bit of hot red wine, then add it to the cooked grape and apple mixture. Stir well to combine. Finally, add the lemon zest for an extra layer of flavor.

  5. Cool and jar: Let the mustard cool for a few minutes. If you wish to store it for later use, transfer the mustard into airtight jars while it’s still warm. If you’re ready to enjoy it, serve as a tangy condiment to elevate your dishes.


Tips:

  • This mustard is perfect as a condiment for meats, cheese, or roasted vegetables.
  • The mustard will last longer if stored in sealed jars in the refrigerator.
  • Feel free to adjust the sweetness or acidity by adding more wine or apples, depending on your preference.

Enjoy this homemade grape mustard, which adds a tangy and fruity touch to your culinary creations!
