Homemade Mustard
Ingredients
1/4 cup dry mustard, colemans
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 egg yolks
Preparation
You begin with dry mustard, adding vinegar for tartness and wine for
mellowness; then you cook with egg yolks to give the spread its
velvety smooth texture. You can season the mildly flavored mustard as
suggested, or leave if plain. For gift-giving, package the mustards
in jars and identify them with decorative labels. In top of a double
boiler, stir together mustard, vinegar, wine, sugar, and salt. Let
stand, uncovered, for 2 hours. Beat egg yolks into mustard mixture.
Place over simmering water and cook, stirring with a wire whisk,
until mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Pour into small
jars and let cool. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to a month.
