Honey Mustard

Honey Mustard

Of course you can buy mustard—but it’s so much fun to make your own, and it makes a special gift. Look for ground mustard in the spice aisle of the supermarket.

kitchen gear

  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Small pot
  • Wooden spoon or heatproof spatula
  • Pot holders
  • Clean, lidded jars

Ingredients
 

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup ground (dry) mustard
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions
 

  • Put the water, mustard, vinegar, and salt in the pot and mix well. Put the pot on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Bring just to a boil, then lower the heat to very low.
  • Cook, stirring from time to time, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of runny mustard or yogurt, about 40 minutes, then stir in the honey. Set aside to cool.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least 3 days, so the mustard can mellow and thicken further. (Like store-bought mustard, it will last a long time in the refrigerator.)

Notes

OR ELSE

• Make it bright yellow! Add 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric before cooking.
• Make it herby: Add 1 teaspoon dried herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or tarragon, before cooking.
