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:
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
